/* 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'''(includes ammo belt boxes, which are designed to contain belts of a specific type and size)* '''Reload packs'''. == Function ==
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'''.
* '''Holders''' are feeding systems which are meant to be "held" by the compatible weapons in order to feed it. The capacity of such weapons therefore becomes that of the currently held feeding device (excluding the +1 round in the chamber). The reload action is therefore characterized by either the insertion, or the swapping of an old device for a fresh one full of ammunition. The typical example is the '''box magazine''', which is designed to be ''held'' by the host firearm (such as a pistol or a rifle).
** Feeding systems considered to be '''holders''': Magazines, Moon clips, Ammo belts, Reload packs
== Size tiers ==
All feeding systems belong to one of '''size tier''', ranging from ''Tiny'' to ''X. Large''. The size tier determines the base weight. When feeding systems are loaded with ammunition, '''their weight changes accordingly.'''
