Some calibre converted weapons become unusable due to no compatible way to load them. #237

I noticed that the 12.7mm Desert Eagle and .45 calibre Glock 17 conversions both become unusable, as neither of them have any compatible magazine options and the deagle cannot be directly loaded from ammo akin to clip fed weapons. There may be other unusable conversions due to a lack of loading method but these two are confirmed.

I'm using GAMMA and grok said that these conversions are from PPP, and that you support that pack. However if that is something the PPP developer needs to update instead I can take it to them.

.45 Glock should convert from 9mm Glock mags
12.7 doesn't have support, workaround is to manually load the one round of 12.7 with OITC option

You can't even load the glock mags into the .45 once you convert it, that's the reason it's not really usable as best I can tell. Do you mean it converts 9x19 ammo in a glock mag to .45, or it uses a different .45 mag and it just isn't really clear?
Interesting. Frustratingly awkward and inconvenient to use in practice, but interesting.

Possible that the patch is out of date, either way I'll bring it up with the other maintainers

Well this is embarrassing, I actually entirely missed the fact that retooling mags was done by right clicking the mag itself. How I managed to miss that before reporting this is a bit sad. My apologies for making a false report, I thought I'd actually found something wrong, but instead managed to miss the real solution after at least half an hour of searching before making a report.
