I was impressed by the durability of the magazine as seen in the video but again, that doesnt really prove all THAT much in the grand scheme of things.
Here's a question for a guy that shoots at the range and the closest he will ever come to combat is when watching a movie.
What does that magazine do that the pmag at half the price doesnt?
Is unloading magazines by stripping individual rounds really that much of a hassle?
No thanks.
I am fully happy with my Mk 1 Mod 0 thumb or stripper clips and a spoon. No reason to further complicate the system.
Well I placed and order for one from AIMsurplus to give it a go. What I like about it and the new Lancer System L5 Mags is they have metal feed lips and the feed lips are very important in a Mag. your going take into a fight.
I have a bunch of Magpul P-Mags and they work very well but they don't have metal feed lips.
From what I read the military still requires metal feed lip in the AR Mags they buy.
They had a group buy option at AR15.com in conjunction with Rainier Arms for these. It was limited to 300 units and they were asking $24.95 instead of the usual $42.00. May or may not still be on but worth a shot.

I'll be sticking with PMags....
I think a Lula is a lot more practical than this thing to the average civilian shooter. To guys who get their M855 in bandoleers and on stripper clips (read professional types) it's a no-brainer.
I saw a drop test for a lancer magazine from five feet onto concrete, no damage to the feed lips.
Anyone done anything like this with a pmag? Given how notoriously tough the pmags are i cant imagine the feed lips would be damaged in a fall.
Good point about the metal feed lips by the way, i hadnt thought about that.
Metal feed-lip requirement? Uncle Sugar buys whatever the guy behind the computer types in. I have never seen a specific requirement for metal feed-lips, so if you have a reference I would greatly appreciate it.
There are lots of PMags in theatre right now, with no complaints that I am aware of. Feedlip damage kills aluminium an steel mags pretty easy.
I have personally beaten a PMag to destruction. You can see what I did to it here- Abusing a PMag
Stickman did too. His pictures are waaay better. PMAGs Tested Beyond Destruction
