## Community notes

**Pyro05x** — 2007-01-27

Though BIS did not provide a command to remove **all** magazines of every type, it can still be accomplished using [forEach](../commands/forEach.md) [magazines](../commands/magazines.md).
example:

```sqf
{ player removeMagazine _x } forEach magazines player;
```

**edit:** `removeAllMagazines player;` now exists since Arma 3 v2.20.
