Motivation
[edit]We have no way of modeling this so a property is needed
My knowledge of real-life firearms is limited so please bear over me if i made any mistakes.

Discussion
[edit]Don't limit usage to only weapons
[edit]Firearms are not the only engineered things in the world that use magazines (clips). We should change the description to something more like
"In (real or fictional) devices like a firearm, weapon, or engineered thing, this is the default capacity or size of a devices' magazine, clip, or other container typically used to hold ammunition, bolts, cartridges, tools, etc. which pushes those items as needed usually through a spring-based mechanism into a receiver for further use by the device".
This should allow broad usage on not only weapon (Q728), but any engineered device, machine (Q11019), tool (Q123691918), or object (Q488383) most generally. --Thadguidry (talk) 23:50, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
