The above is a study performed on prototype M16 plastic mags back in the late 1960's. Had no idea that they were working on a plastic mag during the Vietnam era. From reading the document, it looks like the mag had a few bugs and wasn't ready to be a production item without further development.
Thought this might be of interest to the history buffs herein.
