Detecting if an item is a magazine or weapon or if it's in cfgmagazines or cfgWeapons

[Pac Man 10]

How would I detect if any given item is a weapon type or a magazine type? Or detect if any given item / object is in cfgMagazines or cfgWeapons or cfgVehicles?

IE;

if ("m16" isKindOf magazine) then { do stuff } else { do other stuff };

if ("m16" in cfgMagazines) then { do stuff } else { do other stuff };

Thanks.

Kind Regards,

if ( isClass (configFile >> "CFGweapons" >> _item)) then {
   //is weapon
}else{
   if ( isClass (configFile >> "CFGMagazines" >> _item)) then {
       //is magazine
   }else{
       //is some other class
   };
};

Was the way i was doing it earlier today while sorting inventory items. see here (specifically _containerItems in the second bit of code)
