However, isn't it likely the top part of a loaded mag would bulge enough to hinder (if not prevent) insertion into the mag well, in addition to keeping a full or partially full mag from dropping free?
Why is wall thickness even an issue? Couldn't you just keep the thickness the same and adjust the stack width by increasing magazine length? It just be a longer magazine with a narrower stack. Why wouldn't that work?
