The question becomes how much tactical gear is one willing to carry in their daily life...?

I understand, this is a personal question and a personal choice. If carrying a taser meant carrying one of those big ones LEOs carry, I'm not sure how many would do it.

Well, isn't the C96 still a magazine fed firearm, it's just a fixed magazine. Wouldn't clips be used to load the fixed magazine like in an M1?

Sure, every repeater has a magazine, by definition.

But only a fraction of guns with magazines are clip-fed. The C96 is the handgun which most immediately comes to mind.

Anyway, I was just being a smart-ass. ;)


Edit: If you are asking whether the C96 is able to be fed by clips; yup, it is. Take a look:

That's a pretty sweet pic, btw. Very illustrative.
