After reading Navyjoe's post at http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=25767 I think I want to :barf:
The 9mm magazine performed very poorly. Soldiers were stretching the spring in order to provide sufficient force to feed rounds into the chamber. Soldiers were not satisfied with the guidance from higher to not stretch the spring and only load 10 rounds in the 15 round magazine.
If we got together, all pitched in a couple bucks and bought a boatload of NEW factory Beretta magazine springs, and sent them to the troops as care packages would it be feasible for them to rebuild their mags? Not ever being in the military I have no idea if the bureaucrats would keep this from happening for liability reasons or whatever. The thought of their mags not feeding and them having to download to 10 rounds makes me want to :barf: :barf: :barf:
Anyone who's been in the military and can tell me if this would work, or did I go a little heavy on the Tsingtao this morning?
