God bless the logistics command folks, they're always looking out for the Soldier!  |
The 50 rounder that the Seals tried out is a different design internally to the magazines found in the Shotgun News. The Vietnam era 50 rounder pulled the ammo up insted of trying to push it up. there werethree versions of them and the third version was acctually well liked by the users except that they couldn't shoot from prone. What killed the MOD 3 fifty round magazine was post Vietnam Budget Cuts.
