Auto Ejecting Magazines for AR15

[ToolAA]

I searched and didn’t see this posted. New mag design which automatically releases the mag when empty.

Looks like a great idea in general. Consider that this innovation totally circumvents California’s bullet button idiocy.

3gun guys should love this.

If it could be seen as a F U to California, then I like it.

I thought california required a tool to remove magazine? This does not require a tool

How? Real question, I do not see how this does that at all, but I'm tired and cranky today.

Yeah, not sure I'd want one in a more serious situation... magazine retention is a thing, and having them pop out unexpectedly isn't so hot.

Supposedly, it drops out when the last round is chambered. This means that if you are on a roll shooting, the bolt will not lock back due to the magazine not activating the bolt catch, and you will need to charge it versus pop the bolt release on a new mavazine. If this is the case, it's a new procedure to learn.

Interesting concept though.

I thought the same thing. It actually slows down reloads because you use your right hand to drop the mag while left hand reaches for fresh mag so both happen at the same time. Slapping the bolt release is much faster than reaching back and yanking the charging handle. This is exactly why I don't like the glock mag conversion blocks for standard AR lowers... no bolt hold open.

I'm guessing the idea is to reload before firing the last round so that you don't have to do either.

who's going to be able react to it dropping? you won't see it, you may not hear it. Having it drop after the last round is fired and the bolt stays open would be more practical

Innovative solution looking for a problem

On the range, doing relaxed target shooting, I don't want my mag dropping to the ground (why subject it to potential damage for no reason...plus, I gotta pick it up). In any non-relaxed shooting scenario, I think I'd rather be changing my mags before they run totally dry anyway

Maybe it's handy if you're doing mag dump after mag dump to blow up your gun on YouTube...

It’s the solution to the California bullet button law and a damn good one IMO. It negates the stupid law at least for AR-15 style rifles.

This is what they need to figure out how to make it work.

 

[Library Guy]

Yes, but will it go PING?

 

[Magnumite]

good one!

 

[Boss94]

Might be good for CA. But I won't be buying any of them.

I think I got that.

I'll have to watch a clip of it in action ?

I see very little benefit to the mag. I load 30 rounds, shoot 29 rounds. Now the 30th round loads and the mag drops. As long as I'm not in a firefight, I'm probably okay because I can reload another mag. But if I'm in a SHTF scenario, I'm probably going to die. That 30th round fires and the bolt goes back into battery and I pull the trigger to a dead chamber. Okay, now I have to load a mag and then pull on the charging handle to cycle a round into the chamber.

It's a cool toy. That's about all I can say about it.

Whenever I am operating....doing serious wet-work I do tactical reloads every 7th-9th shot. That’s just me.
