At $389.99 apiece I doubt any of us has one.

I find as I age a 5 or 10 rounder does fine for me. I have a collection of 20 and 30 rounders that only see 5 or 10 rounds at a time -- except for the ones in the bed room.
But back in the day, happiness was belt fed! ;) ;D

I have a Beta-C Mag for my .223 / 5.56 MM AR-15's, but it's a pain to use because of the Graphite. This system because of the way it is designed, doesn't require any. It also hold more rounds. I'm surprised this isn't more popular, especially with the full auto crowd. Admittedly it's use would be limited, and would weigh a ton when loaded and inserted into the rifle, but it sure would be FUN!  Bill T.

Big deal.  They get that kind of fire power of of 20/30 round magazines in the movies all the time.   ::)

Yeah and after a dozen rounds what every they are shooting bursts into flames and explodes.

The product in the video must be defective.

And Belt Fed is the way to go.

I'm tempted to buy one or two of the Magpul 100 rounderd.

I figure that would be about as much as my barrel would enjoy.

Belt fed...Hell yes! ;D

Something like that would almost HAVE to be in an "installation".  Who the heck would want to CARRY it?  This gizmo loaded with an assortment of buck and slugs would go anywhwere from 15-20 LBS!  I'm not sure if I would want that dangling from my magazine catch.
