[edit]We have no way of modeling this so a property is needed
My knowledge of real-life firearms is limited so please bear over me if i made any mistakes.

Discussion
[edit]Don't limit usage to only weapons
[edit]Firearms are not the only engineered things in the world that use magazines (clips). We should change the description to something more like
"In (real or fictional) devices like a firearm, weapon, or engineered thing, this is the default capacity or size of a devices' magazine, clip, or other container typically used to hold ammunition, bolts, cartridges, tools, etc. which pushes those items as needed usually through a spring-based mechanism into a receiver for further use by the device".
This should allow broad usage on not only weapon (Q728), but any engineered device, machine (Q11019), tool (Q123691918), or object (Q488383) most generally. --Thadguidry (talk) 23:50, 9 September 2024 (UTC)

- 1. Single and Multi-cartridge pen injectors for diabetes patients use a magazine to hold the cartridge(s).
- 2. Magazines used in various medical devices where clinical applications are administered to patients, such as nucleic acid delivery systems for cancer treatments.
- 3. Lab-on-a-chip devices use cartridges inserted into magazines for rapid diagnostic testing.
- 4. In metalworking, stamping presses use magazines to feed formed sheets or strips of metal into presses.
- 5. In construction, various tools use magazines to hold nails, screws, fasteners, etc. for quick dispensing. (Nail guns, etc.)
- 6. CNC Machines use "tool magazines" for holding and autoloading from, to allow continuous operation. In this context, the magazine is reused, over and over to load/unload the tool tips, adapters, etc. from. It's still a magazine and spring loaded typically, but with multiple outlets, not only a single outlet (so that multiple tools can be grabbed from at once, used, and then stored again into the "magazine").
- 7. Injection molding machines use magazines to automatically load plastic pellets from a larger hopper.
- 8. Color guns, other equipment types (NOT WEAPONS) used in games and real life - https://satisfactory.fandom.com/wiki/Color_Gun -- Thadguidry (talk) 07:17, 21 September 2024 (UTC)
