SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR LOADING AND UNLOADING A MAGAZINE
First Claim
1. An apparatus comprising:
- a magazine defining a chamber that is configured to contain one or more ammunition cartridges a set of feed lips located at a proximal end of the magazine and a spring with a follower at the spring proximal end of the magazine;
a tool for loading and unloading ammunition into the magazine, the tool further comprising a reservoir container, defined by three sides of the tool an configured to hold ammunition cartridges, and a funnel to interact with a proximal end of the reservoir container to route ammunition from the reservoir container into a single row in a repository channel; and
a loading press sized for insertion into the reservoir container and the repository channel such that when inserted the loading press guides ammunition through the tool and into the magazine.

Abstract
Systems and methods for loading and unloading a magazine are comprised herein. An apparatus described herein includes a magazine that has chamber for storing ammunition. A toll that is used for loading and unloading ammunition into the magazine. The tool includes a reservoir container that is defined by three sides of the tool. The reservoir container is configured to hold ammunition cartridges. A funnel interacts with a proximal end of the reservoir container and is configured to route ammunition from the reservoir container into a single row in a repository channel. A loading press that is sized for insertion into the reservoir container and the repository channel, is used, when inserted, to guide ammunition through the tool and into the magazine.

2. A method for interacting with an ammunition magazine, comprising:
-
inserting an extraction funnel into at least one of a reservoir container or a magazine through at least one of a reservoir container proximal end and an opening defined by magazine feed lips, the feed lips located at a proximal end of the ammunition magazine and are configured to retain ammunition within the magazine; extracting one or more cartridges through at least one of the reservoir container proximal end or between the magazine feed lips using the extraction funnel; directing the one or more cartridges into a repository channel through a repository channel proximal end; aligning the cartridges into a single row by passing them through the loading funnel located at the repository channel distal end; coupling a second magazine to the repository channel distal end with the second magazine feed lips facing into the repository channel; and reinserting the ammunition into the second magazine by applying force to the cartridges through a gap defined by the second magazine'"'"'s feed lips with the loading press. - View Dependent Claims (3, 4, 5)

6. A loading and unloading apparatus for interacting with a magazine, comprising:
-
an extraction funnel at a first end of the loading and unloading apparatus and configured to couple with a magazine to extract ammunition; a repository channel, defined by a wall of the loading and unloading apparatus and terminating at the extraction funnel and configured to received ammunition through the extraction channel; a loading funnel, aligned with the distal end of the repository channel at one end and coupled to a second magazine on the opposite end, configured to consolidate the cartridges from the repository into a single row; and a loading press configured to urge the ammunition cartridges from the repository channel through the loading funnel into a second magazine. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
