Motivation
editWe 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
editDon't limit usage to only weapons
editFirearms 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)
