I need a clip

Easier to remember is if it has a spring in it it is a magazine.

Now.... Is a speedloader considered a clip? A Bianchi Speed strip???

Sorry, but there have been numerous clips that have incorporated springs.

For example, Mauser-style stripper clips. The spring helps hold the cartridges in the clip and helps keep them from rattling.

"Is a speedloader considered a clip? A Bianchi Speed strip???"

Yes to both.
 
Actually banana and drum are two legitimate descriptions for magazines.

A banana magazine usually is curved, not unlike a banana, and is quite long.

This is a pretty good example of what some might call a banana magazine: http://www.gunsamerica.com/99863544...2/Ruger_10_22_24Rd_22_Magnum_Gun_Magazine.htm


A drum magazine looks not unlike that instrument.

This is an AK drum magazine: http://www.rusmilitary.com/images/ak_drum.jpg

Probably the most famous and familiar drum magazines are the 50 rounders for the Thompson, the snail drum magazine for the Luger Artillery Pistol (http://warrelics.eu/forum/military_...-snail-drum-loader-take-down-tool-scn4531.jpg), or the 71-round drum for the Soviet PPSh submachine gun.
