A clip is always used to load a magazine. You can't have one without another.
Edit: I worded this poorly, my apologies. I meant that even when a gun is reloaded via a clip, it still has a magazine. The clip is used to load the magazine. I wrote that because there is a misconception that weapon loaded primarily with clips (like WW2 rifles) don't use magazines but use clips. In reality the clip is simply used to load the magazine.
I mean you can load a magazine without a clip no? Like you can just put them in by hand and self tension it, I dont think it would be super great, but I am of the understanding that you can do it.

or on some rifles like bolt actions, that new pistol from a year ago, the Autocannon from Helldivers 2 uses a clip, etc.
