## Community notes

**Leopard20** — 2021-09-12

To return the ammo count in each magazine, you can use this code:

```sqf
magazinesDetail player apply {
    private _reverse = reverse _x;
    private_i1 = (_reverse find "[)") + 1;
    private_i2 = (_reverse find ["/", _id1]) + 1;
    private_i3 = _reverse find ["(", _id2];
    parseNumber reverse (_reverse select [_i2, _i3 - _i2]); // return cnt
};
```
