Again, its 500 years in the future, and humans have discovered how to harden electrical devices against electromagnetic forces. (How can the chief get shot with plasma contained in an electromagnetic field without it messing up his suits systems?)
Anyway, it wouldnt be a strong magnet, just enough to hold up the clip.
Actually, I just realized that the ammo counter could really be a weaight sensor, figuring out how many bullets are left based on the clips weight.
