  There are some Books available that include building-instructions (i don't own one of these, but i would choose the most current):
  
  * [The BrickGun Book](https://www.brickgun.com/) (Book released in 2013, site has occasional updates as of December 2018 with more instructions)
  * [Badass LEGO Guns](http://www.amazon.de/Badass-LEGO-Guns-Building-Instructions/dp/1593272847/ref=wl_it_dp_o_npd?ie=UTF8&coliid=I30SXQDXI2H25U&colid=1VYE0XU1E5BI7) (December 2010)
  * [Weapons for LEGO Lovers](http://www.amazon.de/WEAPONS-LEGO-LOVERS-Xubor/dp/3000260625/ref=wl_it_dp_o_npd?ie=UTF8&coliid=I3U0GUHSZBE2II&colid=1VYE0XU1E5BI7) (February 2009)
  * as [username_2](https://bricks.stackexchange.com/questions/275/how-can-i-build-a-human-scale-lego-gun/279#279) said the at least 4 years old [Forbidden LEGO](http://www.amazon.de/Forbidden-LEGO-Models-Parents-Against/dp/1593271379/ref=sr_1_sc_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1319791833&sr=8-1-spell) (July 2007)
  
  to answer your question about magazines/reloading mechanisms: see [this youtube-video](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H23HDHRVjpA) that shows such a mechanism in detail (although it's a bit hard to perceive details).
  
  in addition the book about [LEGO Technic Simple Mechanics](https://rads.stackoverflow.com/amzn/click/1593272774) might also be interesting for you, if you want to try building a own gun instead of just "copying" from a detailed instruction.
