I keep hearing that the AR ergonomics are the ideal, the most intuitive, the most comfortable, blah, blah, blah...and my own experience with that platform simply says "Nope, uh uh, I don't buy that at all". Maybe it's true that a complete newbie would find that to be true...and maybe it isn't...but I honestly don't care. I know it isn't true for me, and frankly that's all that matters....to me. And I sure as hell don't care about it's virtues as a "fighting weapon", because I ain't fighting with it. My uses are entirely recreational.
The upcoming Hera H6...assuming that it ever actually arrives...is indeed something different and I want to try it out. I won't know if it works for me or not until I use it for awhile, but it's appealing enough for me to want to give it a chance. I already have a bunch of 10-round mags for it, and I know that there have been many times in the field when one of those mags protruded from the bottom of a rifle in such a way that I found it irritating or troublesome. Will this sideways configuration solve that issue? It might. Will it introduce new handling quirks that I won't like? It might.
Theoretical analyses of how this will or will not work are just that: theoretical. Until we have hands-on experience with the thing, we're just wasting our time with speculation. Right now? Let's face it: The majority of guns purchased by the majority of shooters are chosen based upon subjective ideas as simple as "That's cool; I want it!" or "WTF is that? Hard pass!"
