弹夹条亦被称为桥夹、条夹、快速上弹器，是老式手动枪机步枪和手枪（例如：Kar98k、*****、SKS）常用的装填工具，当今步枪也经常通过转接工具用弹夹条快速装填弹匣（比如美军5.56mm步枪弹经常预装在弹夹条上供应部队方便快速装填弹匣）。它的作用是将3-6发枪弹固定在一起，以一致的位置和方向插入步枪上的弹仓并一起压入，提高装填速度和减少供弹故障。其中将本体带弹装入弹仓的弹夹条也成漏夹（比如毛瑟M1888、意大利曼丽夏-卡尔卡诺步枪、美国M1加兰德步枪），这种弹夹条随枪弹打光自己会从枪中弹出。

A clip is a device that is used to store multiple rounds of ammunition together as a unit, ready for insertion into the magazine or cylinder of a firearm. This speeds up the process of loading and reloading the firearm as several rounds can be loaded at once, rather than one round being loaded at a time. Several different types of clips exist, most of which are made of inexpensive metal stampings that are designed to be disposable, though they are often re-used.
