¶ Component properties
The internal magazine component is very similar in structure to a magazine blueprint (whereas the external magazine component merely defines the interface to magazines). It represents the capacity of some weapons to load multiple bullets directly into the weapon in lieu of bullets being fed by an external magazine.
The M24 sniper rifle is one example of a weapon having an internal magazine.
For a shotgun, you may want/need to use a tube magazine instead. See GBTubeMagComponent.
The most useful/pertinent properties of the internal magazine component are listed below:
