The viper fires flechette rounds which are single, .10 or .05 caliber spikes.
The clip holds 150 of them (presuming a 5-needle per SA trigger pull rate of
fire).

Those things could be as small, in their casing, as 1-2mm by 1-1.5cm. Which
means, NO, the clip does not HAVE to jut out that much. :-)

IMO, ofc, the Viper should have special rules for reloading IT'S special
magazines and ammunition, seperate from the normal pistol loading rules.
