| 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]])
