=== 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''' 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''' 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'''.

=== Ammo belts ===
'''Ammunition belts''' are, as the name implies, used to feed a belt-fed firearm; typically a machine gun. There are two major kinds of ammo belts: '''Disintegrating''' and '''Non-disintegrating''' belts. All ammunition belts are designed to '''hold''' and feed ammunition into a firearm. ==== Non-disintegrating belts ====Non-disintegrating belts are the simplest type of ammunition belt available, and can be thought of as essentially large magazines. They function the same way; they have a fixed capacity, and typically are only compatible with one or a few weapons. ==== Disintegrating belts ====Disintegrating belts are a little more involved; they are made up of metallic clamps called '''belt links'''. The type of belt link determines which weapons (wipand in turn, calibers)they are compatible with. Firearms that can be fed with disintegrating link belts will eject belt links on the floor alongside casings. Unlike casings, there is no Handloading skill requirement to find links; firing 200 rounds will always result in 200 belt links on the floor. When in possession of compatible belt links and ammunition, you can spend 1 turn to combine 3 links and 3 rounds together. This results in the creation of a '''loose ammo belt'''. This act can be scaled to however many rounds you wish to link together. * Example: If you wish to create a 50-round ammo belt, you will spend 17 turns to combine 50 belt links and 50 rounds.* Example event line: ''[Weapon accessory] M13 ammo belt, loose, disintegrating links, 7.62x51mm NATO, 50 rounds - [0 /50] - Weight: (variable, 0.02 per round)'' You also have the possibility to '''spend 1 turn to divide an existing loose belt into two shorter loose belts'''.* Example: You can separate a 100-round ammo belt into two 50-round ammo belts, or into one 25-round and one 75-round, etc. Although links have an individual weight of 0.01, loose ammo belts are not heavier than unlinked ammunition; a 50-round loose belt weighs as much as 50 rounds, for instance. As such, it is always more space efficient to combine ammo and links. There is no upper limit to how much ammunition can be linked together into loose ammo belts; as long as you can carry it. ==== Loose belts and belt boxes ====It is important to distinguish between '''loose ammo belts''' and '''ammo belt boxes''': Loose ammo belts:* Have a variable capacity, which depends on however many rounds are linked together.* Cannot be held by a firearm like a magazine or a belt box - can only be carried in the inventory.** You may load a loose ammo belt into a compatible firearm, but only if the belt is in a directly accessible part of the inventory. Firearms loaded with such belts are therefore "loaded from the inventory". Ammo belt boxes:* Are designed to contain ammo belts of a specific type (e.g. M13 belt boxes can only contain M13 belts, and so on).* Can be loaded into a compatible firearm, which will hold it, like a magazine. '''It takes 1 turn to load a loose belt into a belt box'''.* Have a listed maximum capacity (e.g. "ammo belt box, 100 rounds").** You may load a loose belt of any length inside a belt box, as long as it's equal or inferior to the listed capacity. For example, a 74-round loose belt loaded in a 100-round belt box is fine, but a 124-round loose belt is not.

The only other type is the '''flamethrower reload pack''', which is a kit containing enough fuel to completely refill the compatible weapon's gas tank alongside any other necessities (starter fuel, etc.).
Flamethrowers cannot be reloaded until they are empty, reload packs cannot be refilled (as their purpose is to completely refill a flamethrower to full capacity), and once used as part of a reload action, the reload kits are removed from the gamediscarded completely, making them one-use items.
