Why does all my purple ammo fit my machine gun and rocket launchers? Why does my green ammo fit my fusion rifle which takes a battery and my shotgun that appears to take shells or slugs? Why can I load my auto, scout and pulse rifles with the same ammo as my hand cannon? And just what the heck kind of ammo does a hive weapon take and why can it evolve? Do any of these weapons really use magazines? Finally, in 700 years after the collapse, will the words magazine and clip still be relevant or will language change?
