I form conjectures about this too. I think it originated with the mix of relatively new detachable magazine fed firearms with older firearms having fixed box magazines loaded by clips during the years around the Second World War. Whatever the case, magazines are not the same thing as clips and I usually explain that to people unless I feel it's going to incite an argument or something.
