Different companies would make a difference..

I don't know that I would have any practical application for it, but it looks pretty cool. Then again, that's practical enough for me plenty of the time.
It seems to work reliably in the video

I've 3 Beta's, never had a problem in semi or full. Many a full 100rd dump w/o issue on any I have. There are clones out there, like the fake Leupold's.

+1. I have never encountered a failure with numerous Beta C-mags. Keep them cleaned/lubed and they run like tops!
Now with that said, they aren't really all that practical (either a 100rnd or a 150rnd drums) on anything but an LMG or in a relatively fixed position. They aren't nearly as "friendly" for a run-n-gun AR because of the added weight/bulk. I'd just as soon have four or five 30rnd PMAGs. A lot of folks put too much stock in mega-capacity mags/drums and don't learn how to properly run simple mag changes and tactical reloads with an AR.

On a 11.5", M16 the balance is better to me. Of course they would get two-three frags first, but as a entry weapon it's hard to beat. Unless you just burn the building down first, which works for me as well.
