Anyone tried the new Surefire mags? Reviews, thoughts??? Someone asked me about them, I had not used or even seen them in person... I think if I really need that kinda ammo, I'd just rock a Beta-C Mag.... |

The Beta-C Mags are notoriously fragile and unreliable, not to mention incredibly bulky for how much ammo they hold. The Surefire mags are supposed to be much sturdier and more reliable. |

I'm a cheap bastid. How many PMags or GI mags can I buy for the same amount of money?  well the 60 rounder is $129 so I would guess about 10 at an average of $12 - you certainly can find some for way less so this is just an illustration / example. you are right in some why's about it being a lot of money for one magazine but it should be a lot of fun in FA mode. |
Fantomas, that's kinda how my math was working. I was thinking I could get at least 10 30-round PMags and as many as 16 GI-types on sale. That's a BUNCH more rounds on-target. And I sure would hate to actually worry about dropping such an expensive mag on the ground when practicing/training.  That said, I wouldn't turn down one of the 60 rounders if it cost about 25-30% of what they're currently asking for them. |

SO you can have 20-25 USGI mags or one 60rd mag? I personally opted for more, however i will eventually pick one up if the prices come down, just for fun ETA: I CANNOT possibly imagine any scenario i would need 60rds of 5.56 on tap short of Zombies, me being a civilian and all. Possibly for competitions, but thats about it |
