Big Army says no more polymer mags

In the context of the Internet, trolling means making a statement/post specifically for the purpose of angering some people.


In my experience, economies of scale also drives prices down. Mil surp 5.56 and 9mm are cheap compared to rounds like 300 AAC and .40S&W. And Magpul wouldn't raise their prices because they're doing great business... if anything, they'd drop prices. Local retailers might increase prices, but that's always up to them.


Would it be skin off your back if your SWAT unit's leadership decided to ban everything but USGI mags? I'm in Afghanistan now and the banning of PMAGs hasn't quite been noticed by my leadership yet, but when they do, I won't be terribly happy.

I'm in N2KL, and my BC told us about the TACOM meesage. Then he loaded up his Pmag.

I saw him eject the rounds from the pmag, if I remember correctly it jammed multiple times. If I'm in a life and death situation, that magazine failed.

I guess because the PMAG can withstand a HUMVEE running it over, it's better

I need to drink the Magpul Kool-Aid

I think you guys are referencing different videos. He's referring to the video where the pmag is abused by a Chevy. He then loads the magazine with dummy rounds and ejects them through his rifle.

I think you're referring to the video where the soldier is abusing his pmag with a humvee and then packs it full of sand. it survives the majority of the humvee test, while the usgi and hk mags do not. There were some ejection problems when the pmag was loaded with 29 rounds, then packed with sand, but usgi mags were not put through the same test to compare them.

based on durability alone I think I'd choose the pmag, no koolaid required.

Do as I say, not as I do...

I'm actually wondering how this affects other services in the CJOA-A, as although the Army pretty much runs the Joint environment here, not everyone is Army.

The Army has enough problems as it is. I don't understand why the Army would limit Soldiers from using the best equipment intentionally.

Because we are returning to a peace time mentality. Time to start painting some rocks.

You got that right...

I have had to do the stupidest things while being here.

Good points and point taken. I probably came off harsh. Hope you can keep your PMAGS stuffed in a pack somewhere, or use their followers at least. Be safe, take care.

And I was thinking that painting grass in green and painting wheels on APCs with a toothpaste was Warsaw Pact special...

Quite the opposite, actually. He told us about the message.

The truth.... It hurts.
