It matters because they are two distinctly different things that, depending on where you are, can make the difference in what you get.

A dirtbag malingerer walks up to my ammo point and ask me for a clip, so I gave him one. He says, no I need a clip with ammo in it. So I gave him one.
Now pfc limp wrist is getting uppity with me at my ammo point. of course he is getting yelled at to hurry up and get on the line, so I sent him back to his platoon sgt. who then sent him back to me and back and forth and so on until someone took pity on him and shouted "it's a magazine dumba$$". Then once he caught his breath he asked for a magazine, so I gave him one. He made it to the firing line and after wasting perfectly good ammo not hitting anything, realized he needed 3 magazines for the course. I was ready and waiting for him. needless to say, he made up for all the pt his bs profile got him out of.

We didn't have much of that when I was in.
I was told a story, likely just urban legend, about the green pvt. that was sent by his 7 to go get a box of grid squares. The story goes the CSM saw this pvt. running around looking lost and asked him what he was doing. The pvt. tells the CSM what's going on and so the CSM takes him to his office where they cut up a map into little squares. CSM tells the pvt. take these to your 7 and tell him I want my map back.

I did see a guy in the motor pool trying to collect an exhaust sample once. We just stood there trying to figure out what he was doing with that trash bag and one of his people told us about it. Those support company guys are a good bunch.

anyway, back on the clips vs mags.
just to further confuse this issue, don't ask for a mag when shooting a garand. Those do take clips. So does the broomhandle, and a few odd pocket pistols out there.
