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.

'''Stripper clips''' are long, thin strips of claw-shaped metal, designed to hold rounds of ammunition in place vertically. They are designed to be inserted in compatible firearms (which must have a clip guide of some sort), so that the ammunition can be pushed down and into the weapon all at once. Stripper clips are designed to '''drop''' the ammunition they carry into a compatible firearm, and typically, a type of stripper clip will only be compatible with one, or a few given weapons. Upon completing a reload, the stripper clip has effectively transferred its ammunition to the weapon; though the user can perform a partial reload and end up with a partially loaded clip. This can be done deliberately (by explicitly announcing the amount of rounds one wishes to load in), or out of necessity (if the clip holds more ammunition than the firearm needs to be fully loaded again).

=== Speedloaders and 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'''.

=== Speed strips ===
'''Speed strips''' are, as the name implies, long strips made out of rubber, designed to hold rounds of ammunition into a straight line. The rubber strip can be bent and stretched to allow faster insertion than with loose rounds, the idea being to partially insert one round, "rip" it out of the rubber strip, turn the cylinder, and repeat until fully loaded, until the strip is empty, or until the user wishes to stop. They are therefore '''droppers'''. Speed strips have a capacity and one or more calibers, but unlike speedloaders and moon clips, capacity doesn't need to match; '''only the ammunition loaded must be compatible with the revolver'''. Therefore, it is possible to use a 5-round, 6-round, or even 8-round speed strip with a 6-shot revolver, as long as the caliber is compatible.

** 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.

=== Reload packs ===
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 discarded completely, making them one-use items.
