Short answer
Caliber is the kit. An M4 with three rounds is a stick that clicks. See shotguns, pistols, mosin.

How it works
Weapons want matching mags and rounds. Mixing piles in a panic is how you die in a doorway.
What to do
Count mags. Name the caliber out loud if Kane is packing the wrong box.
Don't
Don't invent a spawn table.
