I thought C-mags were originally designed for M-16 variants to help cut down on mag change time and to reduce reload time with loose ammo? So what's unrealistic about using them (besides their capacity?) Unless you're playing with realcap limits then what's the difference between running with a couple hicaps vs. a C-mag? I can usually play several skirmishes on a 450 hicap for my G36 or my M4 so I'm rarely changing mags in a game anyway. If you want realism you could throw 100bb's in your C-mag then it would be realistic. Although, to be 100% realistic you'd have to try to recreate the jamming problem that they've been reporting from what limited field use they've been getting.

Actually that last part wouldn't be a problem as my C-15 has been jamming regularly.
