Today we are going to be doing a little more gun science testing metal vs magpul. When a malfunctioning rifle induces a double feed, there are multiple ways of clearing it. However, what if we could do it in a way that the clipazine did the work for us? The doublefeed is one of the common malfunctions prevelant when magazines reach their operational limit.

Should check out mike pannones video on clearing a real double feed (bolt head override)
Wow. That’s good to know. Thanks!
Nice but I doubt I'll ever need a metal mag for a double feed in my life. Thanks for the info and all the hard work.
Interesting. I have a couple pmags. They feel wrong… I don't like them. I have a couple sure feeds that I love and a few salty ass colt mags that I put magpul followers in with cmmg braided springs. Pmags feel cheap, and this video just slightly confirms my bias.
28 rounds is not the proper denomination for AR mags, regardless of what fudd-lore you hear from former special operators. Modern magazines have extra spring distance at the bottom to allow them to properly seat even when loaded "to capacity" with 30 rounds. I almost guarantee everyone from your class who was having feeding issues were using magazines either with the old, "milspec" springs (which never fed properly) or didn't have anti-tilt followers (the tan/orange followers in newer "USGI" style mags); or possibly a combination of both.
TLDR: run 30 rounds in your magazines, only buy newer production magazines with proper springs, and if all else fails hit it a bit harder and seat it properly.
Like the video!
Good info as all ways.
Glad to see your hand is getting better.
Got rid of all my Duramags. One of their employees likes to blast "pro BLM" garbage all over social media. Apparently Duramag is fine with it. I won't give them a dime of my money from here on out.
I'm a sub… What about " The Death Jam ". An empty case goes up above the gas tube, bolt starts to feed another round jamming the the carrier group so won't go forward or backward. I had this happen to me last summer. I was letting my wife shoot, I didn't see it happen. Never seen it happen. How do you take care of it? The RSO told me it was " A Death Jam " because if it happens to you at the wrong time you dead. You obviously cannot disassemble the rifle. The bolt carrier group is stuck solid, half in stock tube other half trying to go into battery. I dropped the mag. I needed a long screwdriver and a lot of working with the charging handle to try to get the casing to move just far enough so that I could get the bolt carrier group to retract enough to open the rifle. I spent considerably time ( approx 45 min.) with the screwdriver trying to get the case that was above the gas tube. Surprisingly the gas tube did not get damaged. Especially after the beating it took. Please help me with this. I guess that's what a backup gun ( pistol ) cause your **ucked.
Would be cool to see a steel mag from Duramag included in this test.
I use " STEEL " Mags. only, not Aluminium or Plastic. DURAMAG FOR ME, THANKS BIG GUY, GREAT VID. & I SEE YOUR HAND IS MUCH BETTER. Also I'm just a regular Joe but I like my shit too work.
Racking an AR always smells like a trash fire. IDK why. But it's in there.
I still load a full 30 rounds. Even in training I've never had a problem with doing that in pmags and lancers.
I had the real deal double feed jam at my home, with no safe direction to drift the muzzle as I cleared it.
Kurt, have you already made a video explaining that magazine test you do with smacking the magazine base? If not, would you consider doing a video on that?
Does it auto? Yes. Does it "overgassed as hell"? Also yes.
I know that there was a supplement company that dropped Arnold cause he said screw your freedoms
Im just glad thier were no out of battery detonations with all that malfunction clearing
I use PMags mostly for 5.56 ARs, but have a number of Surefire aluminum mags which have never let me down yet. For my 7.62 AR it’s CPD or Duramags only. For 7.62 AKs it’s steel mags only…and I prefer the Zastava mags. I’ve tried other AK mags with mixed results.
Full auto never lies
13:18 make it rain lolz
Without even watching it all, yes magazines matter. Mags can cause all sorts of problems if they’re not good ones or in decent condition.
