I'm not a GI, never served. But my impression is that "Hey Joe, toss me a mag" is not that uncommon. Not run over it with a truck, or even 10 foot drop onto concrete.
But I don't want one that spews cartridges if jarred. Which early poly mags (ram-line) did. And as do PMAGs loaded with over 15 rounds of Grendel.
Yes, not a fair comparison on the pmag, it was not designed for grendel.) I'm talking 4" drop onto a carpeted shooting bench, they would spew!
I have a bunch of pmags for 5.56. They work fine, just as reliably as the GI & Cprod alloy ones do. And just like my Cprod grendel ones do. I don't see a huge advantage, and I do see some disadvantages. (pouch fit, feed lip flex, etc)
