Should be easy enough :D

Drew out a design for it a few weeks ago, sat down with a friend yesterday who has skills on the solid works.

Would anyone be interested in such a device?

Details:

The basic idea is pretty obvious, a coupler that allows 4 LAR-15 pistol magazines to be attached together. However a little more thought has gone into it.

The main body of the device would be made of Aluminium and the screwed on floor plates made of durable plastic. Plastic for a few reasons, it would be easier to attach and detach magazines from the coupler, and if there are any breakage issues, they can be replaced and the type of material updated if theres is a persistent problem. And obviously if you chose to run two or three magazines, you could without having the floor plate for the 3rd or fourth attached.

I've never really like the coupler that attaches two mags end on end, becuase I find the reload a little bit tricky (not a competitor or awesome shooter so maybe thats just me sucking) but with this I figure you could grip the bottom mag, rotate the mags 90 degrees and then complete the reload.

Anyway this is the first design I've had drawn out on solid works and would like to hear your guy's thoughts. Obvious question: Would anyone be interested in them down the line?

There are some obvious problems, I doubt these would be very bullpup friendly and they're not going to fit into a mag carrier designed for the STANAG magazines :p (I have some basic sketches of a belt attachment)

Interesting. Knew what it was the instant I laid eyes on it. I just put together some LAR mags a few days ago, so the shape is fairly fresh in my mind.

I dont know how it would run with all 4 mags on it in a bullpup config. Might get mag in the chest with every shot, depending on recoil and how you hold it.

And a X shaped mag might look a tad funny.

Yeah, that is one of the downsides, I don't think it would be compatible at all with bullpups(maybe if you ran two mags at a right angle). That being said, I don't have one nor have I ever used one, so if I prototype one of these,I won't be able to test it out. ...(excuse to buy a tavor aquired :D)

Anyway I'mma list a few details about the design, becuase i feel like it. I'll edit them into the first post.
 
Good idea though, gets us one step closer to having regular capacity magazines.....

lol you could, but the way I was thinking of doing it. Is designing a special screw for the rear which has a knob or some such, said knob fits into a retention device which clips to a belt. (I would post my initial sketches of the belt clip device...but they're supremely crappy :D)

Other than that.. I dunno, throw it in a dump pouch or utility pouch?
