Magazine, weapon and method of manufacturing a magazine

A magazine for storing and separating projectiles for a weapon, comprising:

• a storage section, which is configured to house a plurality of at least partially cylindrical projectiles, in particular arrows or bolts, and extends in a first direction, and
• a separating mechanism coupled to the storage section and comprising an actuation section configured to be actuated by the movement of at least one actuation mechanism of a weapon when moved with respect to the first direction, wherein the separating mechanism upon actuation of the actuation section is configured to separate a single projectile from a plurality of projectiles in the storage section, and wherein the separating mechanism comprises a holding section configured to hold the separated single projectile with a predefined force in a launching area of a weapon,
• wherein the separating mechanism comprises at least two guides and at least two sliders, and wherein the guides are each configured to guide one of the sliders, and
• wherein the two sliders are essentially positioned at an angle to each other between 55°and 85°, and wherein the two sliders are configured to be moveable along the respective angles within the guides.

A weapon, comprising:

• a magazine for storing and separating projectiles for the weapon, the magazine comprising:
• a storage section, which is configured to house a plurality of at least partially cylindrical projectiles and extends in a first direction, and
• a separating mechanism coupled to the storage section and comprising an actuation section configured to be actuated by the movement of at least one actuation mechanism of the weapon when moved with respect to the first direction, wherein the separating mechanism upon actuation of the actuation section is configured to separate a single projectile from a plurality of projectiles in the storage section, and wherein the separating mechanism comprises a holding section configured to hold the separated single projectile with a predefined force in a launching area of the weapon,
• wherein the separating mechanism comprises at least two guides and at least two sliders, and wherein the guides are each configured to guide one of the sliders,
• wherein the sliders are configured to be moveable within the respective guides between a first position and a second position, wherein the first position of the sliders corresponds to a closed state of the separating mechanism and the second position of the sliders corresponds to an open state of the separating mechanism, wherein the separating mechanism is configured to be brought from the closed state to the open state upon actuation of the actuation section, and
• wherein the actuation section comprises a ramp integrated in the sliders and oriented oblique to the first direction, such that a movement of the actuation mechanism in parallel to the first direction and intersecting the ramp causes the sliders to move from the first position to the second position.

A weapon, comprising:

• a magazine for storing and separating projectiles for the weapon, the magazine comprising:
• a storage section, which is configured to house a plurality of at least partially cylindrical projectiles and extends in a first direction, and
• a separating mechanism coupled to the storage section and comprising an actuation section configured to be actuated by the movement of at least one actuation mechanism of the weapon when moved with respect to the first direction, wherein the separating mechanism upon actuation of the actuation section is configured to separate a single projectile from a plurality of projectiles in the storage section, and wherein the separating mechanism comprises a holding section configured to hold the separated single projectile with a predefined force in a launching area of the weapon,
• wherein the separating mechanism comprises at least two guides and at least two sliders, and wherein the guides are each configured to guide one of the sliders,
• wherein the two sliders are essentially positioned at an angle to each other between 55°and 85° , and wherein the two sliders are configured to be moveable along the respective angles within the guides.

A weapon, comprising:
