Military DictionaryMilitary Dictionary and Gazetteer 💥

magazine
A word derived from the Arabic, makhzan, “store-house,” means any place where stores are kept; but as a military expression, it always means a store-house for powder, although arms may at times be kept in it. In military structures the magazines must be bomb-proof, and therefore necessitate very thick walls; they must be quite free from damp, and should admit sufficient daylight to render the use of lanterns within generally unnecessary. The entrance is protected by shot-proof traverses, lest an opening should be forced by ricochet shots.

A magazine is a type of book people read. Magazines are not like regular books. This is because a new version of the magazine is printed many times each year. Magazines are a type of periodical. They are called periodicals because new versions of them keep being printed. Magazines are printed on paper. People usually need to subscribe to them. One magazine is Time magazine. There are magazines printed about many things. Magazines are similar to newspapers, but usually new versions take longer, they cost more money, and they are in color on every page.

A "magazine" can also mean a spring-loaded container for bullets used in modern guns.
