SureFire MAG5-100 Round Magazine by NOLATAC

NOLATAC had the opportunity to shoot the MAG5-100 courtesy of Scott Wilson during a recent Magpul Dynamics Handgun II/Shotgun class in Louisiana. The MAG5-100 was shot through a Spikes Tactical 12.5" Mid-length with a SureFire MB556 Muzzle Brake and a Bravo Company 14.5 Mid-length with a SureFire Mini Can.

not practical, can't go prone with it, not practical in any real situation, makes weapon its self heavier bulky, will snag on things. Looks like a great fun toy though. Just can't see a military application for such a thing this large

[NOLATAC]

@starsiegeplayers How many times have you tried it in combat? Have you even shot it at all? You would be surprised at how practical it is actually.

[NOLATAC]

@starsiegeplayers Are you in the military?

[why760nitro]

nice concept though 

[NOLATAC]

@why760nitro How much should it cost in your opinion?

[EchoOfLohengrin]

I could see these being very useful with the USMC's new M27 IAR

[NOLATAC]

@EchoOfLohengrin Pretty sure that was the original target market.

Wow... An ammunition feeding device... I remember back in the day we called them magazines (mags) for short. I am so impressed now surefire makes both ammunition feeding devices and darkness eliminators which sounds way cooler than mags and flashlights.

[EightAlek]

If they make them any longer he can rest his gun on the ground with it.

[Liist]

I guess it's easier to carry than a Beta C Mag. The 60-round magazine seems more handy, though.

[ELITEHAMSTER123]

@NOLATAC especially in the east right now. You are not going to be sitting in one place for long.

[ELITEHAMSTER123]

@mjgjr706 its not a flash light its a dark-sucker. Its been scientifically proven

[DaveTrionfi]

If this magazine is reliable I can see every seal team wanting these just to cut down weight instead of lopping off the end of the barrel and butt stock of the SAW just to save a few ounces.

[DaveTrionfi]

This guy who keeps worrying about barrel changing is driving me crazy. There is a plan in place to replace the SAW with an AR with a very cool open bolt system anyway. The one disadvantage was the magazine size. This 60/100 round mag shows proof of concept and I'd like to see how well they have improved the "coffin" magazine design.

@starsiegeplayers

But I do agree it would be a fun albeit expensive toy addon to use with your AR. I can just imagine all the burned out barrels this thing is going to cause LOL. But this sucker is just too heavy. I have shot this mag in England during a demo. And for myself it's just too heavy especially when running a piston system AR like my sig 516. And when transitioning to a secondary just too unwieldy for my taste. But I do like their 60 rounder tho again its heavy.

[Toyman07]

@NOLATAC

LOL Don't HOW much is should cost. But it's a $129 at "cheaper than dirt". Way too expensive for a single mag.

Although it's military use only an Ares-16 mag/belt system is a much better alternative as it uses standard M249 boxes and standard m16 mags.

Sorry but this thing imo is mainly a gimmick for the public. And before you ask yes I have been in the service here in Germany. And no I'm not a air soft/modern warfare expert . ;)

[Toyman07]

@starsiegeplayers

Why? It's not much longer than a russian RPK 45 rounder and a lot of the troops in their Afghan war and in Cheneya (sp) seek out those mags. Dont knock until it till you try it man. And like another poster stated have you ever been in a real fire fight with this mag? If not? Then you have know Idea do you?

[ALJR223]

@fulsame1 Standard AR magazine....7 inches. Surefire 60 round magazine...8.6 inches.
