When Col Breed takes over Maj Reismans training camp and then Maj Reisman sneaks into the camp, climbs the roof of one of the huts and fires his grease gun towards Breed and his men, you'll notice that the magazine in the grease gun has another one taped upside down to that magazine. Doing that too both magazines is what's known as a "suicide clip". It allows the user to quickly change magazines when the first one is empty by simply releasing it, grabbing it, and turning it upside down to insert the new magazine instead of taking the time to reach into a pouch on your belt to get another one. Also, the nickname for that practice is incorrect because it's not a clip, it's a magazine. A clip is the metal strip that holds the flat rear parts where the primer of the bullets are that you would see, for example, insert into the top of an M1 Garand.
