Dual Mags


 * For the similar attachment in Call of Duty: World at War, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and Call of Duty: Black Ops, see Extended Mags.



The Dual Mag is a weapon attachment which appears in Call of Duty: Black Ops. It is available for all assault rifles except the M14 and the G11. It is also available for the AK74u and the MPL (those weapons being Submachine guns), and the RPK (that being a Light Machine Gun).

Overview
The attachment decreases the time needed for every other reload action by using two magazines taped together. Every odd reload (e.g. first, third, fifth, and so on) is faster. The following reload will be the default, original reload. The odd reload depicts the player removing the spent magazine, and flipping it around (either on screen or off screen), and inserting the second, fresh magazine.

With the exception of the RPK, the attachment also adds 50% more ammo when the player spawns. For example, the FAMAS starts with 120 rounds normally, but with dual mags it starts with 180 rounds.

Since it speeds up reload times and provides more ammo, it reduces the need for Sleight of Hand and Scavenger (however, using either or both perks can increase the immediate usefulness of this attachment). Because of this, it is a strong attachment choice as it opens up Tier 1 and 2 slots to other perks such as Flak Jacket and Hardened to maximize killing power.

Dual Mags and Extended Mags cannot be simultaneously equipped by using Warlord.

Trivia

 * On the Wii version, there is a glitch where either the "Dual mags" or normal reload is done multiple times in a row. However, this only happens if the player reload cancels. If the player reload cancels on every reload, this can essentially give the player a free Sleight of Hand, freeing up a Tier 2 perk. Also has been tested on Xbox 360 and works.
 * For balancing and compatibility reasons, this attachment cannot be paired with Extended Mags via Warlord on any weapon compatible with Dual Mags. However, a Zombies Pack-A-Punched Commando has a similar effect, with an increased magazine size AND Dual Mags
 * In Call of Duty: World at War, the Extended Mags attachment for the MP40 is titled "Dual Magazines" but it just adds the ability to use two magazines on the MP40, therefore doubling the mag size.
