i would like members to also consider magazine commonality thing apart from the usual small arms khichdi,
i mean even for same calibre ammo we have different weapons feeding from different magazines...we couldn't even standardise this way huh...
INSAS has its own magazine, then M4-Tavor/X-95 its own STANAG one, Galil (those SFs use some) its own...all these in 5.56x45mm
then in 7.62 NAT, we have L4 Bren and 1A SLR and now SIG716i, again all feed from their own magazines
9x19mm...Pistol Auto 9mm 1A, Beretta Px4, Glock, Jericho...ALL feed from different mags
oh and SVD in 7.62x54mmR, sabse unique nothing compatible for that one to other firearm, from ammo to magazine, then in 7.62 NATO we have...PSG-1 and Galatz (Galil Sniper)...all feed from different magazines, again
and in belt fed MGs...MAG 58 and PK...different calibres, different belts...at least Negev NG7 would share those NATO style disintegrating link belts with MAG 58 now but again
ooh and 9x19mm SMGs again, MP-5, Uzi, MP-9, Sterling (duh), and those SIG MPX now...all feed from different magazines...at least Beretta Mx4 takes Beretta M9 mags but we don't use M9 pistol here much so what to even benefit from here...
only some commonality that is there is among AKs, as they all feeds from common style of magazine in 7.62x39mm....buuuuut then we inducted those Bren 2 from Cz that has its own STANAG derived magazine in 7.62x39mm cal...
in short, if you want to keep different firearms fine but at least try to maintain magazine commonality naa...it is doable and should be desired...apne log yeh bhi nahi karte
