Well, this changes things somewhat. I never even knew there were G36 magpul mags, definitely looks good without unnecessary bulk. That said, $30+ for a single AEG mag? That's GBB territory there... one of the biggest attractions for AEGs (for me at least) are the cheap mags... I'll stick w/ my GBBR's until they make a cheap 5 pack.

There's no issues with the mags function wise, they feed fine from what I know (brand dependent). The problem is the bulk and size of G36 mags. You pretty much have to get dedicated pouches for it as your normal run of the mill double AK or AR mag pouches aren't large enough for them (will fit a single G36 mag I believe). Triple AR mag pouches will fit two, but all the random edges, corners and protrusions will usually snag something making reloads a bitch, hence the need for dedicated fat G36 pouches.
