By this point, everyone has seen video of PMAGs getting run over by cars, trucks, HUMVEES, 5 ton military vehicles, and just about every other vehicle in commercial or military use. The point has been made that PMAGs will take abuse that will kill standard USGI aluminum magazines, and even the substantially more expensive steel HK magazines.

However, there comes a time where Murphys law steps in, and equipment is damaged. The idea behind this round of testing was to start out with a known good weapon and magazine, and then damage the magazine to find its failure point.

Below is the host weapon that we ran for this block.

Components are as follows:
SOPMOD Stock
M4 cut upper receiver
MIL prototype DD A2 RIS rail
Prototype Melonite/ Tennifer (proprietary but similar treatment) barrel
MI Folding front and rear BUIS
Eotech 552
AAC SCAR Light Suppressor
Bobro VFG


Verification firing before actual testing was conducted with several Magpul PMAGs, as well standard USGI magazines to ensure there were no existing problems.
