    How many tires does a plane deploy with?

    Gen Mattis was using an example of one plane tire, he didn't include the cost of everything else that goes into the plane to make it operational.

    8 grand for an individual tire.....27 grand to completely equip an Infantryman. Take a guess on who is getting the short end of the funding stick.

    I know for a fact the SCAR-17 can't take PMAGs, but I was referring to the SCAR-16, I've heard of TONS of them that couldn't except 5.56N PMAGS.

    Go on YouTube and search ''SCAR PMAG Modification'' and see what comes up.

    You're saying this isn't true anymore?

    The issue was not the SCAR taking PMAG's

    The issue was PMAG's dropping free.

    The older fatter PMAG's didn't drop free, but the new slimmer one's were fine for me.

    The SCAR cycled reliably with both.

    ...who, unlike any airplane/aircraft in the inventory, takes and holds ground, for all the money spent on them.

    They're a force multiplier, but the force they multiply is the GCE. Foreverandeveramen.

    Speaking back to the magwell, what I love the very most is that the very first time I heard it was from the mouth of an 03xx Corporal @ TBS, one of 6 cats helping out with a UE. Paraphrased:

    -takes Pmags?
    --no
    -shit me?
    --shit you not, you my favorite turd
    -will once i file the shit outta THIS part !lulz!

    It wasn't that they couldn't take a PMag. They always could. The back of the PMag pushed up on something (I can't remember off the top of my head) and the guy who noticed it thought that it might be able to eventually cause a problem. I also remember it being more of a non issue......people had been using PMags for a long time with no problems.

    I've never had a problem w/ my rifle. As Variable said, some early one's wouldn't drop free....but they do that in my LMT lower too. A 16 will definitely work just fine with PMags.

    Some Marine battalions allegedly ban the PMAG:

    The world does not revolve around the PMAG. The SCAR and HK416 were designed to work with properly spec'ed STANAG magazines. The problem is the PMAG, not the SCAR and 416

    If military personnel are destroying their weapon to accommodate personally purchased, non-issue magazines, that is a serious lack of judgement, training and oversight.

    NCO's need to rip out the colon and use it to strangle anyone caught going down this road.
