Luger magazine functions

To add a bit to John's response above, the magazine was one of the reasons that the German military wasn't interested in the pisol at first. If I remember correctly, the caliber was too small, and the magazines too expensive to throw away on the battlefield. This is an understandable viewpoint, considering the fact that they'd only dealt with "clips" up to this point, and mauser strippers were made to be discarded in battle.
