I think AR high cap mags are bad.

Anything over 30 is unreliable. Spring pressure, even with snail drums, is excessive. The middle of a fire fight is no time to discover you have a double feed or a pipe stem jam.

Agreed, I myself have 30 rd mags, but many more 20 round mags. Reason: I load them differently, for different threats, 20’s easier to quickly switch out. One with high quality precision ammo, another with green tip, one with tracer ( you need tracers to identify to your group where a sniper maybe hiding or where to direct your groups fire), a few with ball, but most with hunting, soft point lead ( much much more lethal than ball).

+1 to that post.

The ones that use “high cap mags” are novices who rarely practice and think they are badasses.

To each his own. We use 30 round mags for the AR 15 and the AK 74. Mostly magpuls. Good luck jamming more than 27 rounds in. I use Russian circle ten mags in my AK but I’ve heard that if you keep any magazine fully loaded sitting around for awhile you can get a set in the spring. That’s why we unload and rotate mags periodically.

Nonsense. 40 round pmags for the AR have never failed me.

Neither have 33 round Glock magazines.

Nor 50 round PS90 magazines.

Why do you talk nonsense?
