What does /k/ think of MagPulls?
Are they worth it?
Shoud I make one out of duct tape and cable tie?
Do they protect the bottom of the magazin if you drop it?

Looks like a diaper.
is your magazine a babby that poops itself?
It's from a tutorial video and I'm asking if I should bother making one
The concept is old as fuck. Probably since the introduction of STANAG's GI's have been making them out of duct tape and paracord. Some pouches are too deep and if the mag falls in it's hard to stick two fingers in there like you're picking up a six pack especially if people are shooting at you, you're wearing gloves or any number of factors.
Use duct tape and paracord, or if you're really Jewish just duct tape. If you feel like spending the money Magpul brand Magpul's work great and are only a few bucks for a pack.
I'm not kidding the idea and practice of doing this has been around since Vietnam and they still do it today.
As for protecting the mag from drops? Not at all. The Magpul Brand Magpuls may do a decent job of that but the duct tape probably won't do shit from a hard fall. Maybe the duct tape will keep the floor plate on but I wouldn't use this reasoning as your motivation.
Use the one strand of paracord method, not the big stupid U.
Using your mag as a monopod is very useful, and the U makes it unstable.

Enjoy your bent feed lips

Oh, let me clarify.
Using your non-Airsoft mag as a monopod is very useful.

...airsoft mags don't have feed lips...
Why dont they make mags that you can attach on each other? Like G36 mags except not plastic

>outing yourself as an Airsofter
Don't use shitty ducktape or gorilla tape, use milspec 100 mph tape texture is better and very good adhesion.

What he said, I would just do the tape, I can do like 80 more mags with the amount I have and I only spent like 9 dollars for it.
Pic related, a mag modified old school with the paracord inside the drilled hole then taped.
>>34341087
you dont even need to use tape if you do it right. pic related.
take short length of paracord
remove inner cord
take flattened sheath of outer paracord
clamp into place under mag base plate
>>34341445
The little pegs take up too much space in mag pouches
>>34341445
ETS mags some.

Well it is an ar15 mag...
What is the purpose of these? What do they even do? Don't most AT mags just drop free?
