Nope. If you take apart the 10 round you will see why. It has ribs molded in to it that stack the rounds up on one side.

Then how do clips work?

They hold the chip bag shut so the chips don't get stale!

Clips ("stripper clips") are used to load internal magazines (e.g., with an M1 Garand). Clips and magazines are not the same thing.

Yeah, but the M1 Garand does not use stripper clips. It uses "en-bloc," Mannlicher-style clips. The clip and eight cartridges go in as a unit (see bruce's video), and, when the eighth shot is fired, the empty clip is ejected.
Mauser '98s and Springfield '03s use stripper clips. The clip holds five (or more) rounds in a superposed line. It is placed into the open area of the rifle's receiver, and the rounds are "stripped" down out of the clip and into the gun's magazine. Then the stripper clip is discarded and the rifle's action closed, loading the first round.

It's a matter of when the stripper leaves the stage.

Had you been cleaning your magazines from time to time you should have been able to decifer them on your own. I suggest you clean them, especialy the pre Y2K ones, at which time you will be able to see the difference for yourself.

Magazines can fail due to lack of proper maintenance just as the rest of the pistol can.

...Always after the fifth round, of course. And with nothing on or in it.

Unless, of course, she's Swiss. In that case, she waits for the sixth round to pass out of her.
