Man könnte aber auch Magazine mit noch mehr Reihen einführen. So kriegt man 60 Schuss zu einem Bruchteil der Sperrigkeit eines Trommelmagazins ... allerdings mit entsprechendem Gewicht.
Beispiel (für AK) -------------------- "You know the difference between Budweiser and sex on the beach? There is no difference... it's both fucking close to water..."

Beispiel (für AK) *hust* Das Fehlen eines grösseren Magazins ist imho zu bedauern. Mit dem IAR sollten doch auch vierreihige Magazine angeschafft werden... sollten, ja, gilt aber nicht mehr ZITAT Early on in the program, the requirement called for the IAR to use detachable, 100-round magazines. Now, Marine weapons officials are requiring only that it be able to run on the same 30-round magazines infantrymen use in their M16A4 rifles and M4 carbines. http://www.marinecorpstimes.com/news/2008/...ine_iar_091308/ -------------------- This just in: Beverly Hills 90210 - Cleveland Browns 3
