/* Feeding systems */
The term '''feeding system''' is a catch-all for any object whose primary function is to carry ammunition and feed it to a [[Weapons|firearm]]. They are the only type of weapon accessory which could be considered to be essential to the normal function of a firearm; as without these, certain firearms will not be able to fire at all, while others may require manual feeding of ammunition as a reload action in order to be able to fire.
Seven types of items can be found in this category: '''Magazines''' (including ''en-bloc clips'', which are considered mechanically identical to magazines), '''Moon clips''', '''Stripper clips''' , '''Speedloaders''', '''Speed strips''', '''Ammo belts''', and '''Reload packs'''.
All feeding systems can further be differentiated by the way they feed ammunition into weapons during a reload action, using two informal terms: '''Droppers''' and '''Holders'''.
