I really don't fret it myself. I try to use the proper terminology, but if someone says "clip" when they mean "magazine", I know what they're talking about.

magazines (M-14.) Several of the guys thought we were going to be issued reading material.

The instructor will take into account the capacity of your gun. At the DPS range, some of the instructors on have 5 shot revolvers. When we fire the 2 shot exercise (10 rounds), those students will do it in 3 stages, load 4, shoot 4, load 4 shoot 4, load 2, shoot 2.
