Medium capacity assault anyone?
I like the look of the magazine, and it seems to work well… but I gotta ask why? To get 20 measly more rounds than 1 single standard AR-15 magazine, and 10 rounds less than carrying two and the width of around 5 magazines? Seems to me that carrying two mags would take up less room, and be compatible with every pouch on the planet… not to mention you also have the assurance that if one fails you still have 30 rounds (hopefully) in magazine #2. I guess what I’m trying to get at is if you want sustained automatic fire you might as well go with a 100 rounder for maximum fun. Those though are even more bulky and awkward…
Made by XS Products who also make a load of other drum magazines. Their name is confusingly similar to XS Sights, but as far as I can tell the two companies are not related.
Thoughts? Are you on board with drum magazines, or do <3 the box configuration and capacity of the Surefire high capacity 60 and 100 round box style magazines more? Interesting how Sturmgewehre said he hasn’t had any luck with the Surefire 60s.
