/* Magazines */
All magazines belong to a magazine type, which can be thought of as a family of magazines, even if that family is made up of just one member.
The general rule of thumb is that all firearms that are compatible with a given magazine familytype, are compatible with '''all''' types of magazines within of that family; with the only difference being capacitytype. There are very few exceptions to this rule and those exceptions will be explicitly listed.* '''Example:''' The [[Colt M16A4]] is compatible with [[STANAG magazines|STANAG magazines]], and can therefore accept any type of STANAG magazine, such as the ''STANAG 30-round magazine'', the ''STANAG 40-round extended magazine'', or even the ''STANAG 100-round C-MAG drum''.
Many magazines may also receive extra descriptors, such as ''extended magazine'', ''drum magazine'', ''casket magazine'', and more. These descriptors do not change their function and only exist to give the player an idea of their shape and purpose. For example, a magazine may be referred to as ''extended'' because it has a greater capacity than what is normally found on firearms using this magazine type, whereas a ''drum'' or ''casket magazine'' are called that way to draw attention to their shape.
