True that, I already said clip is just an approximation... Loose ammo doesn't appear in-game in any way, but magazine somehow seems more wrong than a clip...
Clips/magazines issue: while weapons have magazines, I'd wager that you buy and manufacture clips (why pay extra for the casing?). But in battle, you use magazines (except for things like Hunting Rifle). However, an item cannot have two names. Hence, I think that clip is a more fitting name in general, if imperfect. It's the same as with manufacturing 'arrows' while what you see in battle are arrow quivers.
That reminds me of something strange. With some weapons that shoot more than 3 rounds per burst, the projectiles fly very fast. So fast that 5-10 rounds take the same time as the regular 3 round burst of many weapons. I don't know if weapons have individual projectile speeds, or if is only the burst mode with some weapons, but there is some inconsistency between the projectile speed of weapons
