J-Ho Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 Has anyone seen the 150 round mags made by Armatac? I saw a blurb on them in Small Arms Review. They are aparently set to have a production run later this year. If anyone has heard more or actually seen these let me know. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merlin Orr Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 Now you've done it! There will be 20 pages of range lawyers stating how there is no place in 3 gun for more that a 3 round mag.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wide45 Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 Bigger and bigger mags no problem. Just require all mags be fully loaded at start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merlin Orr Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 At start - no problem. After start....hehehehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maineshootah Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 Has anyone seen the 150 round mags made by Armatac? Wow... $45 dollars worth of Wolf at once. What would that heft out to? 6-7 lbs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.Hayden Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 How bad a shot do you need to be, to need 150 rounds? The nice thing about the Beta.. is it has a nice low profile.. nice for resting on those Area 1 ramps. I wouldn't think most people even come close to loading them full Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingman Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 150 would definitely make the barrel a bit warm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SinistralRifleman Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 If you can hump it, go for it... http://www.armatac.com/VIDEO/clmag.wmv That thing looks way bigger than I would want to carry. http://www.armatac.com/products.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingman Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 (edited) Two things 1. it was smoking not just steaming and it is HUGE, I thought a BetaC was big Final thought What is the price? Edited October 1, 2007 by Kingman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricW Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 If I ever had ride a vehicle through indian country and was lacking a light machine gun, I would have one...actually scratch that...I would have as many as I could requisition. You would too. Screw the barrel. My rich uncle will buy me a new one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SinistralRifleman Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 The amount of wobble back and forth while shooting makes me wonder how long one of these would last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arn't you one of the guys who started the whole trooper class. Now you're wussin' out because of a mag? I was just thinking about the Ironman. other than that I can't see much use, competition wise. I know when and if they ever make it to production, someone around here will snag one. Just torture test it and keep us updated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-Ho Posted October 1, 2007 Author Share Posted October 1, 2007 The amount of wobble back and forth while shooting makes me wonder how long one of these would last. I just watched the video. It did wobble quite a bit. Damn cheap plastic crap. Next thing you know some smartass will try and make a gun out of that stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.Hayden Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 Even IronMan.. you never shoot rifle anywhere near that many rounds.. Max for a rifle was about 60 this year.. maybe 75 as a strech with a lot of misses.. I don't think I ever used more than a pair of cinched 30's and 1 spare - I think on that drive around circus stage.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think I ever used more than a pair of cinched 30's and 1 spare - I think on that drive around circus stage.. You may have a good point. I still might stick with a beta for really big stages, I don't like cinched mags. I don't know why they just bug me. The 52 round Tripp mags are an option, but that damn thing looks like a pain if you had to go prone. Maybe two 42 rounders will get the job done.

D.Hayden Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 Prone, 2 30's cinched is the perfect height for me. most times.. I'm thinking for those really low ports, a couple of cinched 20s might be the ticket.. I always figure one of my mags is going to die.. so I'm always carrying 30 rounds that I figure I'll never touch.. if I had one huge mag, I'd probably end up carrying 3 extra 30's anyways just ic case it gorped on the 4th round. I still am working on getting my 40s running.. looks good for those 30+ round stages.. it ran 100% last weekend. One a 60 round course, the reload worked out really nicely at 32 rounds.

SinistralRifleman Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 Wait just a second. Arn't you one of the guys who started the whole trooper class. Now you're wussin' out because of a mag? If someone wants to carry that in trooper class, well equipment is completely unlimited and that won't change, but I'm not going to carry one myself. Drums are usually size inefficient for the number of rounds they hold compared to standard capacity magazines. I just watched the video. It did wobble quite a bit. Damn cheap plastic crap. Next thing you know some smartass will try and make a gun out of that stuff. My concern is stress on the tower...which is exactly where I had 3 beta mags crack.
