What do you prefer -- 5/20 magazine or 5/30 magazine?

Purely based on looks, I mean. Here are my two .223 ARs to compare:

vs.

and

vs.

 

[OccasionallyOnTarget]

I kind of think the M4 looks better with the 5/30 and the SP1 looks better with the 5/20.

+1 if this is solely about looks.

bigger the better

 

[birtch3]

bigger the better

That's what she said!

But seriously... 5/30

I like the look of 20 rounders' myself

 

[saskcop]

I think the 5/30's are better for shooting prone.

I prefer the looks of the 5/20 but if we were allowed to deneuter them I would prefer the 5/30.
I don't like shooting off the mag so the length doesn't appeal to me for that. I use bipods when I shoot prone.

the M4 looks better with the 5/30 and the SP1 looks better with the 5/20.

 

[Ar180shooter]

I like the SP1 with both equally and the Carbine with the 5/30.

 

[Aniest]

I always prefered the look, use and feel of a 5/20. That's just me though.

 

[notsorichguy]

I prefer 5/20s...... I just wish they were easier to find.....

Nice photos, did you do anything special to stage them?

 

[Traveler]

For an AR-15 all about the 5/30

Just a lot of light on white paper with flash on.

 

[Barthom]

5/30 just is what it otta be.

 

[RRCo.]

I like the 10/10s my Lee Enfields have.

 

[br28]

5/20's rock look badass

 

[9x19p]

On looks alone, 20s on both guns.

 

[GoblinXIV]

My AR-15 has a 8.5 inch barrel, 5/20's look better in it, but the 5/30 that came with it works better.
