Although not a milsurp, the CX-4 storm uses a pistol mag, and can therefore have 10 rounds.
yes I used to know what you mean when I could still take the 1919 out it was fun to set up at the club with either the old boys watching or the younger ones with the M4's or what ever changing a mag after 5 and there you are still blasting away on your first belt...those were the days .
