| I've seen it in movies and video games, and I've even read it in literature, but does taping two magazines together (one upside down the other) really work for firearms such as AK's and AR-15's (and their respective derivatives)? |

Does it really work? You can sometimes spit rounds out of the downwards facing magazine. I'd guess it depends on how you define really work. Dennis Jenkins

| Allows more crap to enter into the magazine, not always the most secure method, recoil can force rounds forward in the mag, and depending on the weapon it can interfere when in the prone firing position. Not to mention that not many magazine pouches hold taped or doubled mags. |

MagCinch? Couple of people in my unit did it (03-06), I always thought it was silly, a "I saw it on TV" mindset. But then, I linked 600 rounds of blanks (3 belts) together on my gun truck during a CLFX once, it ran to about 500 before it got too clogged to function.  That was b/c I was armorer and helped training w/ ammo, so I could pretty much get away with teh stoopid.
