Opened. I never understood the current, either.

The current is supposed to be a literal version of the trope name — see, it's the magazine of a gun, and it's literally bottomless.

That URL has a comma in it. Comma-ted links don't work because they get spaces added after the comma.

I see that removing the space from the URL works. It's a bit literal, but I think it's much clearer than the current, and is not as wordy as the OP suggestion.
10 is definitely clearer then the current. ![[tup]](https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Thumbs_up_emoticon_3268.png "[thumb up]"){kind=small}
The current is a Visual Pun. It's showing a magazine without a bottom. Not that it helps.

But I'm 10 and I don't have an image to suggest :<
XD I meant 7
Hi
7 is clever but I'm not completely sold on it being better than the Visual Pun of the current. A straightforward media example would have to be a lampshade to even remotely work as a page pic.
7 works. The current is too obscure to be a good visual pun.

First one is just a picture of a gun. And I'm not sure there is any single frame in that video that can make a good image. I'm still for 3/7

We have several votes for #7, shall we put that up or do we need a crowner for that?
Hi
Reclocked; crowner's hooked.
Monday votes bump.

Hi
Alright, this one's definitely decisive enough to call. The new pic's up and tagged; caption or no?
Old pic:
No, the other one.
"But where do the bullets enter the chamber?" Eh, dunno.
Check out my fanfiction!
No caption consensus; locking.

Nominations for replacement images:
I don't understand the picture on Bottomless Magazines. It appears to be a disassembled gun with a spring-loaded compartment (of the kind where fake snakes jump out of a box, I guess) and has the caption "like that, only useful". I'm not really sure why this is here, but I'm pretty sure it's not an example of the trope at hand.
Here's a suggestion
, which is technically an aversion of the trope but then the whole page is full of aversionary examples too.
