Hello,
this is a topic that I would like to know how you guys feel about it. i was doing some rifle drills this morning with 2 somewhat new shooters and started thinking, the direct connection between magazine size and how people shoot. So I put it to the test today.
I give shooter #1 an ar15 with what I called a hunting mag “5 rounds” and he toke his time aiming and shooting slow, then afterwards I loaded the rifle with a 40 rounds mags and the first thing he does is mag dump like 25 rounds into the target then shot the rest relative fast, but the reload mag was a 20 rounds mag and then again the shooting speed decreased immediately.
This mirrored with shooter #2 when we shoot the AK with 5, 20 and 30 rounds mags. I have seen this happened before with new and experienced shooters but never toke the time to actually test it until today.
next time I’ll try this with a bolt action.
Has anyone experienced this effect themselves or seen it happen? What’s your thoughts about this?
