TactiCOOL AR Mag

"So, did I shoot 29 or 30 rounds at you punk?" :gun1:

Not sure if anyone already knew about this.

CAA has come out with a very COOL mag for ARs. It keeps a running count of how many rounds are in the mag.

$25 each.... Command Arms Accessories

the one they ran over was probably a Pmag :lol2:

Reminds me of a FPS game.

I like it where the guy shoot 3 rounds from his 30 rounder, and then has to look. . .

i can see that coming in handy for a real combat situation, especially putting out a mag thats full from a belt in a hurry.. cant see that being practicle in normal life except maybe competition shooting. but if you're at that level you know by the way the gun feels how many you have left. Cool concept though.

So, how does this work in the dark?

I remember reading in some magazine back in the early '80's about the W German army allegedly loading their G3 mags with the last three rounds with tracer. (The G3 did not lock the bolt on the last round.) The tracers were supposedly there to give the shooter a visual indicator that they were near the end of a mag.

I wonder how well these mags, and their counters, would hold up to full auto fire? I might look for them if the USN SEALS or British SAS adopt them. (or even a regular army unit)

Couple things:

CAA, in my experience, is a less than top tier company.

That mag they ran over was fully loaded so the mag itself was not taking the load of that truck.

The whole round check thing is over rated. The P-Mag window concept is a little more practical than this, but I don't pay extra for window P-Mags...I buy the regular. I have a few windowed for the collection, but don't use them.

I was in the marine corps. We would load the bottom with tracers if available. But from a tactical stand point it isn't practical to give away your postion.

Yea, that seems cool, but if someone breaks into your home/living quarters, are you really going to have the time to look at your mag to see how much ammo you've got?

I think not!

Also, they ran it over on soft gravel, where the mag would sink in.

Rough_Rider · Mar 19, 2009

What's the point? Doesn't everyone keep track of how many rounds they have fired

Meh...when the bolt holds back you slap in a new mag...

And as for pulling on out of the pouch... You should be able to feel the difference in weight between a full mag and an unloaded mag....

More ****ing mall ninja shit...
