    I guess you could get a set of offset irons or an offset mount for an Aimpoint Micro and shoot 'gangsta' prone...

    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

    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.
