Abstract

A magazine (1) for a small arm comprising a follower spring (3) and a follower (6), and means for indicating the loading condition of the magazine is characterized in that indicator means (4, 5) responding to the position of a section (3') of the follower spring (3) located at a distance from the follower (6) are provided at a point of the magazine (1) which is visible when the firearm is ready to fire. This permits the loading condition to be determined in a very simple manner.
