Mag problems - 25 round 140 mm

[G-ManBart]

Please, everyone who's anyone has gone to Unobtanium tubes tuned with the Capacimax-CAD program, Boriani TiNi springs, KRT silicon carbide followers and Veenstra bases so that they get an easily reloadable 25....sheesh, old news

Oh sure, if you hang out at Quantico. But let the Civilians start asking about Unobtanium and you wind up at Gitmo for knowing about something which Officially doesn't exist because it's classified.

<insert mumbling into suitcoat lapel>

Oh, come on now, that's just plain silly. Just to show how silly that really is I've asked some friendly folks from the "UN" to bring you a couple of the Unobtanium tubes....they'll be by in a black helicopter any minute now

The latest R&D we're doing involves using a small wormhole in the bottom of the mag, sitting on top of the basepad. We have a midget on the other side of the wormhole who simply pushes ammo up the stack. This entirely avoids spring fatigue, follower rollover, etc, as there's no spring or follower involved. What this does do, though, is effectively give you unlimited capacity in one magazine - the only catch is how much ammo the midget can hold in his little hands at one time. Well trained midgets get you more reliable feed rates, which is handy for those up close and personal 32 round field courses. As an added bonus, you never have to clean or reload mags - you just hand over all your match ammo to the midget by loading it all into the mag before the match. Due to the nature of the wormhole, the mag only weighs as much as the ammo physically in the tube at the time, so you pay no weight penalty. One added benefit is that you can now take all the ammo you want on the plane, as well - you simply inform the midget not to feed any up into the magazine until you get to the range, so TSA thinks you've just got a normal, empty magazine....

We're running into one small issue, though, that's taking some real time and effort to figure out... Stuffing the midget into the magazine is being met with somewhat... limited results...

People, People, Please, You must all have missed the newest writings regarding compressed loads.

All of you keep thinking that this refers to compressing the charge in the cartridge case. In actuallity one simply applies teh correct amount of preasure to the loaded rouns when inserting it into the magazine tube and viola, nearly infinite capacity, Simply sqeeze your rounds intothe tube. It does help to have the new "Super'Lula' in order to make the most of the compressable load. One word of caution, your base pads MUST be frimly attached. It has come tot he attention of our R&D group that the number of reported failures of loaded magazines is a direct result of the failure of certain aftermarket basepads that simply are not sufficently strong to retain the additoinal preasure developed by the new compressed loads.

Our legal department is working a disclaimer to this point.

One other word of caution, it is extremely important that the feed lips on your mags be properly dimensioned or the entire magazine may spontaneously empty out the ejection port as the slide cycles rearward on your first shot.

Regards,

Jim
