Dual Mags


 * For the similar attachment in Call of Duty: World at War and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, 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 G11, as well as the AK74u, MPL and the RPK.

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 forth) 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.

The attachment also add 50% more ammo when the player spawns (i.e. FAMAS starts with 120 rounds normally, with dual mags the player spawn with 180 rounds, a 60 round increase.)

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.

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. Also has been tested on Xbox 360 and works. Not tested on PS3.
 * For balancing and compatibility reasons, this attachment can't be paired with Extended Mags via Warlord/Pro on any weapon compatible with 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 2 magazines on the MP40, therefore doubling the mag size.
