Ah but all, if not most, of those reading these little 'posts' are not from your world and call a clip a magazine interchangeably as most civilian consumers. I'm glad you explained it to those that might have never heard the difference before.You should teach your recruits that a clip does not have a spring it links cartridges together. A magazine has a spring. Cycling them is what weakens them.
Ammo imop should be kept in a metal container. Like military ammo boxes or a safe. When ammo cooks of on the ground the bullet is most likely heavier than the case. They both fly with much less energy than the casing being held solid.
People should learn in the first grade what a trigger on a gun does , and why it is the true safety , you just don't go pulling it. It's a firearm !
Don't smoke while pumping gas. I could have just saved a life.
