### STA Magazine

Strelnikov Tactical Armaments has three sizes of magazine for STA series rifles: small-, mid-, and large-sized. Small-sized magazines form a figure-eight shape, with one of the loops of the eight going around the shooting arm. A small-sized magazine is made up of eight sections, with 1,200 rounds per section for a total of 9,600 rounds. A mid-sized magazine wraps around the gun to form a rectangle that extends 15.5 cm upwards, 61 cm downwards, and 13 cm to either side. Due to the magazine casing being made out of Stalinite, the mid-sized magazine is capable of acting as a shield for troops. Mid-sized magazines hold up to [REDACTED] rounds. Large-sized magazines are capable of holding as many as [REDACTED] rounds. Following the Black Hole Incident of 1991, Strelnikov Tactical Armaments has discontinued the production of large-sized magazines until they can be produced and used without risking a repeat of the incident.
