/* Speedloaders and moon clips */
=== Speedloaders and moon clips ===
'''Speedloaders''' and '''moon clips''' are similar in that they are both related to used in revolvers; specifically, DA/SA and double-action only revolvers with a swing-out or top-break system.
==== Speedloaders ====
'''Speedloaders''' are round devices, into which the user inserts compatible rounds of ammunition, which is held in place until the knob is turned and all of the ammunition loaded is released all at once. Speedloaders are designed to '''drop''' the ammunition they carry into a compatible revolver. Upon completing a reload, the speedloader has effectively transferred its ammunition to the weapon and will become empty. Speedloaders have a capacity and a caliber (sometimes, more than one); they '''must''' be used with a revolver '''of the same capacity''', and the ammunition loaded '''must be compatible with the revolver'''.

==== Moon clips ====
'''Moon clips''' are thin strips of metal designed to hold rounds of ammunition and be held in place between a revolver's cylinder and frame; they are designed to '''hold''' and feed ammunition into a revolver. Reloading with a moonclip is very similar to reloading with a box magazine; remove old one, insert fresh one. But similarly to speedloaders, moon clips have a capacity and one or more calibers; they '''must''' be used with a revolver '''of the same capacity''', and the ammunition loaded '''must be compatible with the revolver'''.
