Moon Clips looks like a catchy term they use to market them. It's just
another speedloader.

I went through the wHole gamut of weaponry whilst I was in. Started with a
..308 Bren with 30 round mags, to the M60, the SLR, the M16, then to MAG58,
Steyrs, and finally H&K MP5's.

Out in the open, I'd choose the SLR over anything else (except a H&K PSG1
;-).

I like the satisfaction of knowing that one round is going to severly ****
someones day up ;-)
