Why gun magazines and periodicals share a name

Where does the word magazine come from, and why is it used for ammunition storage?

It derives from words meaning storehouse, a sense retained by ammunition magazines and extended to collections of written articles.

A viewer asks why ammunition storage is called a magazine, prompting a check of the word's derivation. The word passes through French and Italian from an Arabic term for a storehouse or depot. A gunpowder or artillery magazine preserves that original sense as a place that holds material for later use. A periodical applies the same idea metaphorically to a collected store of written articles.
