If you want to see some real mag problems, try using AK mags from different countries in AK's made somewhere else. The Russians are innovating again...Apachksi, MRAPski, ACOGski, they'll never recover from what happened in 1917-1938...1953 really. They killed all the brains, or forced them out of the country. You will understand quickly by looking at Soviet and Russian designs that they never stood a chance without direct access to the US Patent Office.
It won't matter what assault rifle caliber they adopt anyway, since their soldiers default to the automatic mode of fire 99% of the time. The only guys I've seen that don't are using VALs in CQB for anti-terror missions (where the local mayor or regional governor has decided to seize a successful business, imprison the owner, and offer him to sell his company at 10% value if he wants to see the light of day again). They roll up with BMP-2's, and masked Spetznaz troops dismount, then raid the place. It happens all the time there...normalla...
Why would they copy the US MRAP vehicles? Maybe for duty in Chechnya and Dagestan.
