Post weapons with side-mounted magazines, for they look funky.

I'll just post a few.

Also, what are the general upsides of side-mags, and why have they been abandoned?
From what I understand, in SMGs with long magazines it was done to make sure the mag doesn't get in the way when prone, and some rifles (namely the FG-42) are overall shorter than they would've been with a conventional magazine position.

These days they're no longer used by anyone because balance and ambi, but wouldn't an RPK or IAR-style automatic rifle benefit from a side-mag? Those RPK 45-rounders look like they get in the way.

Furrer M-25, a Swiss toggle-lock LMG, the mag is on the right so the assistant/spotter does the reloading.

I wonder if that SMG Guns project to make modernized FG-42 will ever get anywhere. InRange hyped the FG up like crazy when they made those videos.

Anyone have pics of that Cobb .300 or .308 side loading upper on an AR-10 reciever?

they got abandon because of issues with storage urban combat and just general awkwardness my sterling rifle is cool as shit but would want to clear a room with it

>>29932328
I would like a modern firearm with side mounted box mags. I guess the main concern may be bulk though.

>>29932938
That's why you get several people with them, and everyone goes into a bottleneck while hip firing at the home invaders.

You'd think that holding onto a side-mag would help give a little more stability to shooting as well? No?

>>29934358
Pretty sure it causes feed issue's

>>29934451
This, you're not supposed to hold the mag on a STEN gun.

Anyone else have a major hardon for the FG-42?

>Mag over the pistol grip
>Recoil absorbing stock, in-line with the barrel
>open bolt full auto, closed bolt semi auto
>bolt locks open on empty mags, on full auto all you have to do is insert a fresh mag and you can immediately keep firing

It's so gloriously overengineered. I want one.
