I managed to get my hands on some decent HK mags, and the rest some 100 mile an hour tape doctored them up enough to work well. In training I have seen bad mags a bunch, double feeds, bad lips, shitty springs and so on.
Truth be told the only malfunctions I had during combat were related to crew served weapons. My Mk-19 went down during an ambush outside Ghazni. We hadn't seen any LSA; and CLP and other lubes just went to shit in the cold, and got gummed up with dust. During the same fight we had 2 240Bs got down because of the graphite lube. I think it was cold related as well. How you enjoying the world man? You on block leave yet?
