Popcop45 Posted September 18, 2010 Report Share Posted September 18, 2010 I think it is so unfortunate, the magazine for the GSG-5 looks like a toys-r-us item. I don't see why they didn't just replicate the original magazine like air-soft companies do. GSG is no the only one on the ugly magazine bandwagon. S&W M&P 22 and a few other have that see through rail exposing the magazine spring and rounds when loaded. Get real, this is no toy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imschur Posted September 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2010 I often speculated to myself this was so the weapons could not be confused with the real deal for some reason :confused: The first M16 .22 conversions used modified M16 mags..that was cool. Look what Ciener did to that :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Microgunner Posted September 18, 2010 Report Share Posted September 18, 2010 Welcome to T22 Popcop45,I believe the slot in the sides of some .22lr magazines are necessary to accommodate thumb studs that make loading the magazine much faster. A feature important to many shooters interested in high capacity, fast discharge firearms. On the shooting bench you'll find the magazines with thumb studs, and therefore slots, the most popular style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madhouse Posted September 18, 2010 Report Share Posted September 18, 2010 My GSG-5 mags and my S&W M&P 15-22 mags are so much easier to load than the Black Dog mags for my Sig 522. Just personal opion here, but I would rather have the assistance of those thumb studs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popcop45 Posted September 30, 2010 Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 No doubt we're all for easier and faster loading of the magazine. I just think the design takes away from the overall looks of a great MP5 clone weapon; that's just me. Believe me, I've been were I couldn't feel my thumbs after loading so many rounds at the range. ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
