I own both and carrying either is not much different then carrying the other.

Seems I heard on the news’s he had two drum magazines. I don’t know how many rounds he had in them though. In the early days of M-16 development the drum was tested but never issued as it was prone to jams.

I own AR-15s chambered for both and there is a world of difference in the size vs capacity of the magazines. To carry five 20-round magazines for the 7.62x39 model I have, you need some serious pockets. That’s why I posted the question. And, the AK-47 mags are even bigger and bulkier in size. This guy doesn’t look to be carrying anything other than what is in the rifle.

My AR-10 .308cal 20rnd mags are as heavy as my AR-15 .223cal 60rnd mags; not much difference.
