Took some video today of a aimple, real world test on both troy and pmags. My computer is having a hard time with it, so it is not ready to post. Simple test, that anyone can do.
I loaded both mags with the same ammo, full 30 rounds of 55 gr .223. And dropped them to concrete from rifle height. Once vertical with feed lips up, once horizontal, and once verticwl feed lips down. Both magazines lost rounds when dropped feed lips down. Both magazines were cracked on the same drop. In the real world, the most that would happen to most of us is losing a full magazine from rifle height.
The troy list three rounds and cracked down the spine of the magazine. The pmag had a very small crack at the rear if the right side feed lip. Would i use either mag after the tedt, probably. Would I have faith in the pmag that is cracked, i think I would. But the troy mag is cracked much worse and I feel it will fail sooner. I didn't even get to shoot out of wither mag, they were both bought new for this test.
Both would be fine for normal use, they are both polymer mags, which can fail. Even USGI mags would have destroyed feed lips after the drop they took.
The truck test is a joke, it is something that would probably never happen. But to call bull**** on its results is not fair. Both mags were burnt out on, the pmag twice, the troy suffered catastrophic failure, the pmag didn't. That is the point.
I will post live and vid when I get back home.
