Code:
obj
    ammocase
        ammo=5
        Click()
            for(var/obj/pistol/P in contents)
                P.casing = src
                break
obj
    pistol
        casing
        Click()
            casing:ammo -= 1

maybe make a var for the casing like var/obj/ammocase/A or somthing along those lines, think you can do that in a for() so why not outside it?

var/m //Requires the use of :

Dude, that's the whole POINT of this topic, I do not wish to use : because obviously, that ain't good.

EDIT: Thanks JP, problem solved.
