Magnum (M1)
The Magnum is a configuration with points arranged in two staggered (interleaved, «weaved») rows, generally indicated as M1 or simply Magnum. The variant with stacked rows is often called M2. Definitions can vary between manufacturers.
Why it matters: It is a wide configuration, associated with filling and shading. To know what is being bought, it is useful to read the manufacturer's description, because the terms are not used uniformly.
