Steel assault rifle rounds3/31/2023 ![]() The 2010 reboot switches to the standard modern system of weapons sharing ammo based on real-world caliber, and also allows you to ask certain allies for more ammo regardless of whether he would logically be carrying that kind of ammo on him. 45 Colt or Thompson), but played it straight with rifles. The original PSX game averted this for pistols and sub-machine guns (for instance, salvaged 9mm guns would not give you ammo for your. Medal of Honor: Allied Assault has wildly different guns from four nations all accepting the same carts and mags if they're the same "type" (pistol, rifle, etc.).Even funnier is that there are some alien weapons in the first game which draw from these pools (and some of them even have reloading animations of putting an extra glob of goo into the gun!) - good thing the Skedar chambered their handguns for 9mm, right? Perfect Dark and its prequel have more weapons with unique ammo types, but otherwise retain the same ammunition setup as in GoldenEye, changed only to add a third category for SMG ammo.However, there are unique types of ammunition specific to certain weapons such as rocket ammunition for the rocket launcher or shotgun shells for the shotgun. Likewise, no matter what rifle you pick up, it'll take whatever rifle ammo you have. No matter what pistol or submachine gun you use, it'll take the same ammo. GoldenEye (1997) has two main types of ammo, pistol and rifle.See also Bottomless Magazines, One Bullet Clips. In fictional settings, such as science fiction, this is sometimes purposely justified by declaring there has been a worldwide standardization causing an actual adoption of universal ammunition or some sort of literally universal ammunition that's capable of reconfiguring itself to completely differing weapons. Just pop in a random battery and they're good to go (though it can be reasonably assumed that specialized batteries for energy weapons, if such are ever developed in real life, likely would be made to some sort of standard, judging by the efforts undertaken to standardize bullets and magazines for kinetic weapons). Note that most Energy Weapons' batteries/power sources, in contrast to the panoply of batteries for various uses in Real Life, are portrayed as universal. ![]() Obviously, you didn't just pick up nine magazines, eight of them empty, so instead of having magic transforming bullets you have a magic transforming magazine. This could only really work if you picked up the MP40 magazine itself along with four empty Luger mags, 2 empty Glock mags, and 2 empty MP5 mags. ![]() You can use it to reload the 8-round Luger, the 17-round Glock, and the 30-round MP5. Let's say you pick up a 32-round MP40 magazine under the above. "Compatible magazines" is an important distinction: if a Luger, MP40, MP5 and Glock 17 all share a "9mm ammo" pickup, there's still behind-the-scenes magic going on. This trope is similar to One Bullet Clips since both of them treat ammunition like water that's just decanted into a container of the right type when needed here the container in question and its contents can magically change depending on what it is being attached to, whereas there it's more about the way every magazine not actively in your weapon is immersed in the ammo-liquid until it is as full as possible. Sitting down and filling up mags is "not always an option" in a pitched firefight, and largely qualifies as an Acceptable Break from Reality. Clips were the most common way to load guns in the days of everything having an integral magazine, but nowadays they're rather rare since most everything has a detachable magazine if you are asking for a box of bullets that you will shove up the handle of a handgun, you want a magazine designed for specific weapons, so that even if the cartridges are identical between two or more guns, you'll have to unload and reload one painstaking round at a time before you can take advantage of it nevermind the question of where you're getting the empty magazines from. These cartridges are then loaded into clips and magazines note clips feed magazines and magazines feed guns.
