Does anyone know where to get (or how to make) just some simple magazine models (with textures)? I have looked garrysmod.org up and down for hours, and same with fpsbanana. Everything in fpsbanana is some weird format (not .mdl) and/or is missing textures. Hell, if you even know how to convert some existing models into .mdl format and/or make simple textures for them, that would be great. I'm just looking for like a STANAG magazine, a 7.62 box mag, an LMG belt box, perhaps some generic SMG banana mags and a sniper rifle magazine (the little short ones that hold like 5 rounds). EDIT: Nevermind, I do believe I have found the answer.
I don't believe it is hard, it's pretty easy. You just go to the Release section and find wystan's magless weapons V2 thread.

I'm not sure if 20 rounds box magazines for 7.62 even exist, what would be the point anyway? 10 rounds less than 30 isn't anything in weight.
20-rd mags exist, but are rather uncommon. IIRC, only a few guns use them, mainly ones from the early days of NATO standardization, or some sniper/marksman rifles. Edit: Wait, I was thinking 5.56. Why was I thinking 5.56? Yeah, 7.62x51 is usually in a 20-rd box, 50-rd drum or 100-round belt. Odd that we don't have any.

[editline]04:16AM[/editline] christ now i actually pause to think about it, i'm struggling to think of anywhere i've seen a [b]30rd[/b] 7.62x51 mag aside from the converted bren guns and c2a1/l2a1 support versions of the slr. even those seem to usually carry 20rd mags. scar-h mags are 20rds too. [editline]04:18AM[/editline] oh and that's not even venturing into the land of g3-family mags, not to mention the russian equivalent (7.62x54r) is also generally found in mags of 20
Sorry I thought 7.62 meant [b]7.62x39mm which is what we here call 7.62[/b]. Which is the caliber for Finnish AK variant, which I lobbed around for a long fucking time, which also has only 30 round magazines. I'm not a kid, and I live in the universe I just mentioned above.
yeah, now that makes sense. i think i have seen a few 20rd 7.62x39 mags, mostly for civ stuff. gman's post is probably what made me think x51, in which case 20rds is the standard, not the exception. how's the rk? i hear a lot of good things about them.
