Most weapons can't share magazines IRL, but there are some cases where
they can -- many western assault rifles use M16 magazines, for example,
while most eastern ones use AK mags. So, you can take an FNC rifle and put
in a US-manufactured magazine intended for M16s. Or a Chinese Type 56
assault rifle with a Russian AKM magazine.

For simplicity, though, in SR I assume that weapons of the same class
(heavy pistol, assault rifle, etc.) and with the same clip size, can share
clips.
