What are your opinions about a top load magazine holding 200 rounds, about 6 lbs. Too heavy to be manageable?
Thanks for any comments.

It's certainly been done, back in the days before intermediate chamberings:What are your opinions about a top load magazine holding 200 rounds, about 6 lbs. Too heavy to be manageable?

JShirley said:The M249 SAW/AR usually uses what looks like a magazine, but in fact is actually a box holding a belt of ammunition.
Heavy wouldn't be the biggest problem.
The biggest problem would be where to put it so you could go dirt diving and not stick up like a flag saying 'Shoot Me First!!'
When you start talking 200 rounds, you are talking belt fed.
Much smaller footprint, much less weight, and much better reliability.

It does go to tactics for the duty and mil user to keep a 20 round in the mag well for first contact - easier to handle, lower profile in prone. All sorts of considerations.
