I don't have one. And I can't bring myself to plunk down the cash for one.  I would like to, but think how many 30 rounders you can get.  Price is just too high.

I have 1, and 2 more on the way. Good just in case if you think you will ever be laying down suppressive fire with your AR and for bump firing. It has a smaller profile then a 30rd mag so it's also for prone shooting with a precision rifle if you just want to plink and not change mags for a while. I wouldn't have ordered 2 more but with oama on the ticket can't chance them being banned.

If you think 90rd snail drums come even close you're wrong. I'll gladly sell you mine.

If you have an M-16 i highly recommend getting one A mag dump of 100 rounds is really fun!!! They are mainly just for fun though since i don't trust it for any real use

I bought one for 3-gunning (where allowed), and as a hedge against a future ban. I don't use it that much, as there are rarely stages where a 40 rounder or a couple of cinched 30-rounders are not enough. That said, the Beta has always run 100%. I still treat it with kid gloves, as its plastic construction is just a tad too fragile - definitely not something I would bet my life on.

I've got one, used it about 10 times with no issues. I do not low crawl through sand for a living so for range work they work fine.

I would not drop a fully loaded one on hard surfaces, they will break. The best things about them is that a c-mag dump is fun and c-mags make liberals cry.

I am thinking about buying another one, maybe in tan.
