HOLY SHIT tape two 100rd mags together!!!!![]()
Details, details
You could always remove the extra stuff from the rails of your carbine- spare flashlight, BUIS, vertical grip, grenade launcher, water filter, first aid kit, emergency MRE, spare Blackberry with expanded video & music library and back up IPod, the selection of specialized multi-tools...
What?- Don't tell me none of you ninjas roll out with style
Why do you think they came out with a 60 rounder?? Swap & Drop!
Oh I can see the future -for some of you- man I just burnt my barrel up where can I get another! Sometimes you can have to much of a good thing -this is one of them!![]()
I just can't notionalize how that design would work. But if it did work, that 60 would be quite practical. I agree with the hundo being a little retarded though.
I wonder why he didn't just adapt the Ultimax 100 drum.
Is there some reason why it couldn't be adapted for an AR?

The Russkies beat us to the punch. Here's a page on the AK versions, complete with cutaway from the patent:

Drum mags have wasted space compared to box mags.
I can see replacing the belt fed SAW with an open bolt LMG that uses two of those quad stack 100rd mags clipped together with a total of 200rds.
Plenty of rounds, fast reloads, no feed tray assembly, lighter LMG.
Ugh, I'll take a SAW over a IAR any day. Anyone who's spent a lot of time (or ANY time for that matter) as a dismounted machine gunner will know you're in the prone usually when you're at a halt, and especially when you're in contact. 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.
