Ah, looked like you were answering an editing question. My Bad!
And are you sure you haven't tried going through the action menu ( [, ], or mousewheel to scroll through) for "reload ___ mag" ?
JUST TESTED!!! It does not allow you to fire standard STANAG rounds through a suppressed weapon like the M4A1 CCO SD. Someone with RL firearms knowledge could probably answer exactly why, but I'm guessing something about blowing out the suppressor.

Hmm, true.
But that way he won't know what magazine class names he needs to have when adding custom weapons to units in the editor or via a script.
Because AFAIK the "reload mag" name doesn't correspon with the magazine name.
Now that's a scripting issue and I won't be venturing deeper into it if not requested by OP
Yes, thats true.

No, that is not true. US military, at least, typically uses regular issue ammunition with suppressors. Subsonic ammunition typically will not cycle the bolt in a gas-operated rifle.
This best demonstrates both regular and subsonic ammo in the same rifle with a suppressor:

hmm, after watching the video.
He needs to reload after each SD bullet.
That' wouldn't make sense in combat, perhaps Arma simu *cough* another silencer?
Because generally its the gas pressure which retracts the bolt, and with a silencer the gas pressure would be lower.
Which would make the silencer be blown apart when using ammunition with higher gas pressure.

SD bullet? Meaningless term.
No, the suppressor (silencer) is not making a difference. The ammunition is.That' wouldn't make sense in combat, perhaps Arma simu *cough* another silencer?
No, it is somewhat higher. Do you mean with subsonic ammunition? If so, yes, but that has nothing to do with the suppressor on the end of the rifle.Because generally its the gas pressure which retracts the bolt, and with a silencer the gas pressure would be lower.
Any ammunition with high enough pressure to blow apart the suppressor would do permanent damage to the rifle as well. All quality suppressors are designed to be shot with standard military ammunition. This is not surprising, as that is how they are most often used.Which would make the silencer be blown apart when using ammunition with higher gas pressure.

I would like to know why can you load mg36 magazine into Holo or M16A4 RCO GL and NOT in M4A1 RCO GL?
