I'm going to venture in and say a magazine holds rounds, not bullets?

Wikipedia states that: A "round" is a term synonymous with a fully loaded cartridge containing a projectile, propellant, primer and casing.
And: .A cartridge, is a single unit of ammunition. For a modern small arms cartridge this is the combination of bullet, propellant, primer and cartridge case in a single unit.

Dictionary.com:
(Round)
a charge of ammunition for a single shot.
(Cartridge)
1.
Also called cartouche. a cylindrical case of pasteboard, metal, or the like, for holding a complete charge of powder, and often also the bullet or the shot for a rifle, machine gun, or other small arm.
2.
a case containing any explosive charge, as for blasting.

Round also makes more sense, as in "Round in the chamber".

I'm getting confused now.

Round could be said to be a colloquial term.

But in fact, clips hold cartridges as well.

And can even load cartridges, or rounds, into a magazine.

Though some kinds of clips actually feed the cartridges into the weapon.

It's all relative. If some punk put his gat in your face you might call it a gun. In the military, they would never call a sidearm a gun. Practically nobody would call "bullets" cartridges. "That punk put his gat in my face but his clip was out of cartridges." Nope. "Firers, secure that next magazine of cartridges..." Nope. I imagine most civilians in the US would refer to them as bullets and in the military it would be "rounds". Now, military nomenclature for each specific type of ammunition is a different story...

So, hey, currently backing some stuff up so I can install Win 7.
