I've been watching the reviews on the SF60 magazine, and my apprehension about its reliability seem to be confirmed: Dropped mags seize the mag up so that ammo can't be used immediately...malfunctions occur right when it hands off to the next set of 30rds with the teeter-totter coupling of the followers, and capacity-check induced malfs when shooters press down on the rounds to check if it's topped off. These are very similar problems the Finnish Army had with the coffin mags for the Suomi Kp31 in 1939, resulting in it being banned from use on the frontline, with a preference for the 71rd drums, then stick mags.
