    Did you get to fire it? If so, did you experience any feeding issues? To me they both look like they have 'failure to feed' written all over them.

    Reminds me of the experimental 60 round Soviet quad stacked AK-74 magazine.

    Is your target market in military/private security? I could see these working well as back up magazines for the M249.

    As far as the ar15/m4's;

    How will these mags work with the magazine release? Will the added weight of the 100rd mag cause an issue? I've always heard horror stories of the 100rnd beta drums wearing out the mag releases and eventually dropping the $200 drum on the ground.

    I assume you guys have done extensive testing on it, I was just curious about the long-term effects of using a magazine that is 3x the weight of a standard loaded mag.

    Thanks in advance!

    We're talking about the IAR here, logic is of no importance...

I have a hard time seeing anyone use the 100 round mag for anything other than at a guard position or mounted in a truck, both of which aren't what the IAR were designed for. Also the MSRP for the 60 rounder $129 and $179 for the 100. Yikes.

    Maybe I'm old fashioned but mag fed support weapons scream FAIL.
    The BAR was never a failure. PKM > M249. Same weight. Real bullets. Real reliability.

    I hear that from people that have actually shot the IAR that it has crazy accuracy. Everyone has been impressed. I hear that the saying was that the increase in accuracy alone is suppressive fire....
