AR15 ......MAGPUL P-MAG testing vs other AR mags........Video

I'm curious why the bolt only locked back once (at the end) in that last test -- or did I miss rounds being chambered and ejected?
There were some rounds flying past his left arm. I did not notice them at first, but there were some snap caps! It worked perfect! I'm sold!! Anyone know what the price of these would be?

I too thought the mag was gimped at the end... then I saw a round fly past his shoulder, then another :)

Very cool (they look cool too!) hehehe

Let's get some 5 rounders up here :p
 
I didn't see the snap caps the first time either and was surprised they were happy about the bolt not locking back. :confused:

I'm sold, I want to try that mag!
 
I gotta say if they run as well as they endure abuse then sign me up, is taking abuse the same as reliably running though, my Colt/Armalite mags would have failed but they run perfect as I take care of them...am I making any sense here.:onCrack:

if it was -29 could you still run them over and pass?

I noticed they did the "Cold weather" testing phase in the SEATTLE/TACOMA area of Wa. state -- not exacty a Colt haven.

I am a big fan of magpul -- but I find some of this "testing" to have little or no importance -
want to impress me -- drop test the mags loaded - and in a weapon.

As you should be. Theres a picture of you on their website on the Ranger Floor Plate page. Third picture down in the left colum. http://www.magpul.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=80_96&products_id=199 :D

I'd also like to see some cold weather tests. My experience with plastics is that when things get cold they start to crack easily.
 
Certain polymer plastics can withstand sub-zero temperture with ease. Question is, did MagPul use that type of polymer?

I impressed enough to notice but until thrid party tests are done it don't mean much.
 
The video clearly states they are unscientific tests. They are impressive yes but as mentioned, I'd also like to see some drop tests with them loaded and what not.
