Trope was cut/disambiguated due to cleanup


* Multiple magazines may be attached together, often referred to as "jungle style", to supposedly let one reload faster. Sometimes the magazines themselves are designed to clip to each other, like the [[CoolGuns HK G36]]'s magazine; if not this can be done with a proper clamp, but it's more often shown done with [[DuctTapeForEverything duct tape]]. The classic version, with one magazine upside-down while the other is in the weapon, is actually a horrible idea, since it can easily result in bullets getting knocked out, dirt getting into the magazine, and takes more effort than side-by-side magazines to actually use anyway. Taping multiple magazines together can also make handling unwieldy, due to the bulk of the extra magazines, while also causing structural stress, which can deform the magazine feed lips and cause malfunctions.

Up To Eleven is a defunct trope


Rail Integration System and Rail Adaptor System. Also known as Picatinny and Weaver rails, these are standardized ribbed accessory mounting rails that [[RuleOfCool look cool]] and therefore [[UpToEleven go everywhere]]. Most of all, this is also the anchor that makes the gun compatible with many of the above attachments. One company is taking this to another level, by having the rail system have an [[http://www.reset-inc.com/ripr.html integrated electrical supply]] to power all the accessories that are attached to the rail.

This is primarily designed to allow a [[KnifeNut knife]] to be mounted to the end of the weapon, but is often also used as an attachment point for other accessories, such as bipods, flashlights, or the front of underbarrel launchers.||
