Wierd question time: Can a minion equiped with a zip gun use a magazine to get the effects of a ammo card? Common sense says no, zip gun cannot benefit from an ammo card. Yet it is benefiting from the mag, not the ammo card. thoughts anyone? Sutekh_23

Yet it is benefiting from the mag, not the ammo card. He may play the Magazine, and may put an ammo on it, but that's all. He can't activate the ammo, since Magazine says "may use the effect of the ammo card as if it were played from your hand."

[ quoted text not captured ] I'd say no. Magazine: "--- Put an ammo card from your hand on this card. When using this gun, you may use the effect of the ammo card as if it were played from your hand." Zip Gun card text tells that "ammo cards cannot be used with this gun" You cannot play(use) ammo cards from your hand to be used with a Zip Gun. You cannot play (use) ammo cards on a Magazine with a Zip Gun. Benefiting is very vague term, but I don't think that any gun gains any benefit from an empty magazine - it's the ammo the magazine contains that "benefit's" the gun (or the combination, but let's not get any deeper into this). I think that you can put Magazine and ammo card on a minion with a Zip Gun. You just can't use them, however. Best, Heikki P.
