You almost certainly mean magazine.  Either way, in my experience it's
hard as balls to get rounds into either one backwards.  If you suceed,
it'll almost certainly lead to a jam-- you're not likely to get the back
end of a cartridge to go up the feed ramp.  Assuming you do get it to feed
into the chamber, I'll repeat what I wrote above:  "And, if, by some
miracle, you manage to drop the hammer on a cartridge loaded into the gun
backwards, you'll dent the bullet, maybe ruin the striker, but not much
else will happen."
