{{AdvancedTip
| tiptext=Although the vast majority of firearms that use magazines need them to function normally, a firearm may still be able to fire if the magazine is missing, depending on whether or not it is capable of holding an '''extra round in the chamber (+1)'''.<br/>
If a given weapon can hold a +1, a reload action may be performed to "chamber-load" the firearm with a single round. (Example: [[Colt M16A4]])<br/>
Inversely, if a given weapon cannot hold a +1, then that firearm is completely unable to fire any ammunition without a loaded magazine in it. (Example: [[Beretta MAB-38A]])

=== Stripper clips ===
=== 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.
 
Rounds of ammunition that are loaded in ammo belts may be referred to as ''belted ammunition'' or more rarely, ''linked ammunition''.

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 (and in turn, calibers) they are compatible with.
* 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)''
 
Rounds of ammunition that are found in belts may be referred to as ''belted ammunition'' or more rarely, ''linked ammunition''.
You also have the possibility to '''spend 1 turn to divide an existing loose belt into two shorter loose belts'''.
