You can see the outline of the feedlips on the bottom.

LOL!!! I just tried it -- and you can put one in backwards with the feedlips up. It won't go all the way in, but it will stay in place fairly well...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I blew up the photo and enhanced it, and that looks like a rubber baseplate bumper on the bottom to me. I also think I may be able to see the magazine's inspection punchout (on the wrong side of the mag) below the mag well line. And, I see no sign of another magazine or a clip or tape.

IOW, I'm going to reverse my analysis and say that she, indeed, went into a combat situation with her mag in backward and a risky stance -- but with good trigger-finger discipline <LOL!!> (and an empty rifle)...

I hope her training officer had her practicing loading and unloading so long and frequently that she developed blisters. Or, better yet, that they put her stupid @$$ on permanent, unarmed desk duty...

Let’s use some liberal logis. If the reason for the purchase of these dangerous assault weapons is to keep pace with gangs, why not step down. Have the police disarm, making the reasons for the gang’s firepower unnecessary.

People’s ignorance towards firearms would be amusing if it weren’t so dangerous to our freedom.

And if it were sidesaddled, you would see the bend of the properly inserted mag going the other way.
