Why would i not get 40 round mags instead of 30? Or are there 35? Barely larger but carry 7 mags as is standard and thats 70 or 35 extra rounds for a similar profile and barely more weight

No you don't, even 30 rounders feel a bit short if you're doing mag support

Do what you want, I don't give a rats ass. They arent widely used because they start interfering with other shit, like a 40 rounder on the front of a vest covers almost the whole plate, meaning you cant have an EUD, admin pouch, grenade pouch or PTT that people would normally put in that space. Similarly, on the belt a 40 rounder is tall enough that it will start to snag on your cummerbund. Historically countries that had an auto rifle like galil and AK users would informally issue R4 50 rounders or RPK mags to be carried in the rifle for responding to ambushes, you can see this practice recurring in Ukraine with D60s and similar, so it obviously has merit to carry at least one larger mag; but the practice never took off in the west. Even when appropriate mags are available in inventory we don't seem to do it, like I remember the M27 was originally supposed to be issued with surefire casket mags, literally never seen them fielded once.

I like to buy 20 round magazines because 5.56/.223 comes in 20 round boxes. Also, 20 round magazines I think work best for a home defense AR-15, but thats just my opinion.

Torkmag offers fairly short 35/40/50 round mags.

I saw some guys load out in soon to be Russia, he had a stendo in his gun but carried regular size mags. Kind of makes sense 40+1 is good when the adrenaline hits and gives you a little more time to figure out what to do til you're able to reload. At least that's how I live with the fact I bought one of these along with my other dumb decisions, I like 20s at the range cause they don't get in the way and slow me down. I'm poor enough as it is, 1 box equaling one mag helps me track how much poorer I'm getting.

They fit rather odd in mag carriers, both on chest and belt, but are otherwise fine. More rounds than a standard 30 and less complex and expensive than a drum.

i think larger magazine sizes are honestly more valuable to civilians than the military, especially now that we have FRTs
you're not as likely to be running around everywhere in a situation where you would need it, so the bulk isnt as big of a concern

40 round mags are unwieldy if you larperate, ie dont fit in pouches and are unusually tall. I'd do what the sadf did and use a single 40/50 round mag in the rifle as a contact mag, with the rest of your kit having 30's. For what I use my rifle for practically I have a single 20 in the gun and a 30 round mag in a buttstock pouch.

I run 20 round mags simply because I like them. If anyone has a problem, post groups before responding to me.

I'd never waste my money on 40s for anything.
30s fit in stuff. It's the standard.
50s, i mean i guess if you want to larp as the brother from hell or high water and have dual-linked mags for full auto dumps.I use 30s and have some 10s for precision shooting.

Forces in magazine grew linearly to length and Energy stored grew quadratically. Reliability is reduced
