Beta Mags

[Pop_45]

I've thought about getting a 100 round Beta Mag C Mag. Any body here have experience with them?? Are they reliable is my biggest concern. If I'm going to trust my life on one, I need to know I'm not going to die for lack of shooting back.

A true Beta mag is reliable but they sure eat alot! Like any mechanical device they can and will fail in time but theres alot of folks (drop names and abbreviations here) that use them to stay alive.

A Beta mag is neat to look at but not very practical. At a cost of nearly 300.00, it would be a wiser choice to buy 3-30rd mags for one tenth the price and spend the rest of the money on ammo. Once the Beta mag is empty, you also wouldn't want to drop an expensive mag like this on the ground, or leave it, so you would have to lug around a bulky and fairly heavy empty mag until you could refill it.

The reason I'm looking at the Beta Mag, is because I plan on getting one of the Slide Fire stocks from a previous post. (bump fire) I will practice with the stock some to become proficient with the process of bump fire.

The bump fire stock with the beta mag would be a useful tool for Multiple targets, such as defending what you have from a gang of MZB's determined to take it from you, or laying down suppressive fire.

Aimed single fire is way better than spray and pray. Suppressive fire is only meaningful of you've got another fire team flanking them with grenades etc. Suppressive fire is best delivered from something belt fed and on a bipod. Will the slide fire stock work like that?

I've only see one Beta mag in operation and it was a jam monster. They also destroy the excellent handling characteristics of the platform.

As said, spend the money on ammo and develop real skill.
