Certain magazines can be readily identified by their appearance, such as those of the AK-type assault rifles, while with others it can be more difficult to tell what gun they belong to, such as when comparing the Ruger Mini-14's magazines with AR-15/M16 magazines.
The tubular magazine was made obsolete for military purposes with the introduction of pointed "Spitzer" bullets, which risk igniting cartridges stored in the magazine as the pointed bullet impacts the primer of the cartridge ahead of it during recoil.
The rotary or spool magazine consists of a star-shaped rotor, or sprocket, actuated by a torsion spring.
A drummagazine is a type of magazine that is cylindrical in shape, similar to a drum.
The advantage over traditional box-shaped magazines is that a drummagazine can carry much more ammunition, usually over double that of a box magazine, such as the 71-round magazine for the Russian PPSh-41 submachine gun.
Drummagazines are also used in aircraft guns such as the M61 Vulcan and the GAU-8 Avenger.
