Additional Ammo conversion?

So, now that we have the ability to convert 45 ACP revolver speedloader's into 45 Colt mags and back again, how about a step further along this path.

One of the biggest frustrations undoubtedly people have encountered is the apparent differences between the M9SD, and the Glock 18.

The Glock, being a rather universal 9mm pistol, will merrily accept any sort of 9mm pistol mag you can toss at it like Tiny Timmy at the Christmas food handouts.

The M9, is a simmilar story, hapily accepting both the SD pattern mags and it's own.

The M9SD, however, is a fussy eater, and will accept M9SD mags, and M9SD mags only. Nothing less.

Given the rarity of such a specific damned piece of loot, perhaps it would be an Idea to allow players to convert M9 mags to SD mags for the purpose of fitting the weapon at all, along with Glock 18 Mags (Though due to the slightly higher cap, perhaps making it a one way transition to M9SD mags)

And maybe along the lines somewhere, some of the other matching calibre magazines as well... Like ten fourteen 7rd's into 3 sets of 2x's for the double barrel?

Just a suggestion, of course. The M9SD is the frustrating one though atm, and it'd be good to have a solution.

The idea of converting SD mags into regular mags is flawed.

SD mags are special mags for a reason. SD bullets (Both in ArmA and Real Life) are bullets that have a lower muzzle velocity and less "punch" to make the sound they make quieter.

You can't magically turn normal bullets into SD bullets.

Yes, but my point is that you can still load 9mm rounds into the weapon with a silencer. Look at the M4SD, last I checked in game, they stil fed normal mags just as effectivly as the SD ones. It's not so much a realism feature, it's the simple fact that you can have the 9mm weapon with a silencer, 9mm ammo, but if it's not specificly the SD ammo, you may as well just try and headbutt that zombie to death.

Yes, don't get me wrong ,I agree that the gun should be able to use the same mags, maybe with a small noise penalty.
