Combining Magazines

[Rick the Survivor 37]

You should be able to combine clips. So if you have 2 STANAG mags that have 15 rounds a piece you could combine them into one full 30 round mag. It wouldn't do it automatically for you but it would only take about the time of bandages. You can do this in real life, and it is a bit annoying have two inventory spaces filled with the same amount of ammo.

Did you use search?

I personally think mags should be much more versatile.

For example....

SD STANAG and normal. They should be the same. Ie, get rid of "SD" stanag.

In real life, its the same bloody calibre rounds, the clips are interchangeable...HELL, thats why STANAG came about in the first place.

**Did you know, you can use PDW mags with the MP5?**

But they are not the same, SD round have less gunpowder to make them subsonic hence the name Silenced Rounds.

Its the calibre and size of the cartrige that maters not the gunpowdercharge. U should be able to use bouth kinds of clips but u should not be abble to combine them as the rounds are different.

Learn to spell, first.

Second, the difference between subsonic ammunition and regular ammunition is indeed the amount of gunpowder used in the charge.

Third, unless the weapon is specifically designed to handle supersonic ammunition, like the MP5SD is, then you'll potentially blow your hand off loading regular ammunition into a suppressed weapon, and you'll basically be lowering your accuracy and range for no added effect, because of the supersonic 'crack' of a bullet breaching the sound barrier. Best-case scenario, you wear out the suppressor much faster.

And finally, fourth, there have been multiple suggestions for this already, and the ammunition system is getting an overhaul. Likely, in the standalone, we'll be finding bullets instead of magazines, or vice-versa, and we'll be able to combine them.
