What is a magazine feed?

The term "magazine fed" indicates that items or materials are being supplied by a separate or detachable compartment (magazine). The most common use is in firearms, where the magazine is an ammunition clip or case, which can be replaced with another when empty.

While the above is mostly accurate, the magazine doesn't have to be detachable to be magazine fed. A lot of bolt action and lever action rifles used a non-detachable magazine (never a clip - a clip is a loading device, not a feeding device) and are also magazine fed.

Can you fit a 45 ACP round in a 9mm magazine?

No. The feed lips are curved to retain cartridges in the magazine until the firearms cycle and the cartridges are pushed forward into the chamber. The feed lips on a 9mm magazine are much too narrow to fit a .45 ACP cartridge.

Possibly. The rounds should fit into the mag. The feed is more based on the trigger group than the mag (mag has almost no feed lips).

Is the Remington 66 a real rifle that shoots?

You're probably thinking of the Remington Nylon 66. It is very real, and it does shoot. It's a .22 LR semi automatic rifle. A couple variations were made, including variants which feed by a detachable box magazine, and variants which feed by a tubular magazine which is inserted through the rear of the buttstock.
