Unimply drum mag

BUR #57634 has been rejected.

remove implication drum_magazine -> magazine_(weapon)

because the wiki for magazine (weapon) does not specify how and when it should be used I've always operated under the assumption that this tag is applied where it appears as a standalone object as in the lion's share of cases guns are depicted with magazine attached so it seems redundant in that case; obviously correct me if I'm wrong in that assumption but otherwise this implication is problematic when the drum magazine is fitted to the weapon (which is most cases)

oh and on this topic, we might want a tag like unloaded gun with a no magazine (weapon) alias separate from reloading for cases like post #10093715, post #10529412, post #9902483, post #9822510, post #9601697 and so on, so that particular configuration is searchable

and should reloading itself have a (weapon) qualifier ?

No point just removing the implication without further action. I guess magazine (weapon) as it currently exists is a useless tag, because nearly all guns have visible magazines of some sort.
Start creating and populating detached magazine (weapon) for non-attached magazines, and then we can deprecate magazine (weapon). We also have holding magazine (weapon) and magazine ejection.

That would probably end up with a 99% overlap with detached magazine (weapon) since they'll almost always both be present in the picture, but sure, I guess you can create that too.

create alias spare_magazine_(weapon) -> detached_magazine_(weapon)

Working through detached mag, I think this might be a useful alias since magazines are often nestled in pouches or other gear (ex: post #5043570, post #2959247) which doesn't intuitively conjure 'detached magazine'

I've also taken the liberty to create coupled magazines (weapon) for the double/taped magazine phenomenon (post #3391221, post #3718193, post #7365548) on the assumption that it will amount to some 100 posts

No point in fiddling with aliases right now but I'm wondering if the name is all right, a common name for this seems to be jungle or jungle-style magazines
