OMG it looks really uncomfortable

i think that guy will curse the mag till kingdom come during skirmish

long mag is long man

Also for continuous auto firing, the rifle barrel needs to be thicken/heavy barrel.

Not to mention it can also unbalance the rifle, make it front heavy. That mag fully loaded with 100 rounds must weigh at least 2kg. Not an extra weight I would love to have on long patrols.

Announcing LIMA'17 - Langkawi International Maritime & Aerospace Exhibition



The Langkawi International Maritime & Aerospace Exhibition (LIMA) is the largest show of its kind within the Asia Pacific region. Its impressive list of international exhibitors and suppliers is more than matched by the supportive presence of industry elites, which range from senior Government officials, and military and civil delegates, to industry movers and shakers and more.

I did't know Surefire mags were considered hi-tech.

A lot of reason why these long magazines are not used. I am not military but common sense dictates that;

When lying prone, your profile is higher in order to aim and shoot your rifle.

100 rounds of bullets makes your gun heavy to carry and maneuver.

Your rifle gets in a way of moving around terrain like bushes, shrubs etc.

Quick reloading is not as important when your 1 mag has 3 times the capacity of normal mag

The coffin mag is at least slightly more ergonomic than drum or box which is the only other option for 100 rounds, you still got chance to stuff that big banana in a strap somewhere relatively quickly

If you're firing drum or box also you will still be told to bring the mag back. That makes the process even slower (seen a SAW gunner reload right?)

well in SAW's defense, its belt fed instead of conventional mag?

belt fed always take more time, but they cna dish out more rounds in that bulk

I'm sure these long SureFire mags can still be useful combat situation. Personnel with these mags can lay down suppressing fire and not as part of the maneuvering team.

Kopaska operators have excellent training, I'm sure they are aware of the drawbacks and benefits of these long mags

If the squad still has part of the team assigned to establish a base of fire in addition to the maneuver element, I reckon they would be better off being equipped with a heavier fire support weapon like a belt-fed LMG or GPMG which would be much more suited to the job. The oft complained part about these weapons being heavy and cumbersome usually evaporate when they show their worth in a firefight. Simply using a normal assault rifle to fire hi-cap magazines would be insufficient in these cases.

Kopaska also has Minimi, FN MAG, GPMG and Daewoo K3. With high capacity mags, assault personnel can also turn into non-maneuvering light machine gunner during close quarter combats.

I just watched "The Coming War on China (2016)", a new documentary by John Pilger. Pilger is a renowned journalist. RT will release it soon. The documentary has mentioned the military bases in Okinawa and how the local population hated it.

not out yet? zzzzz

Plot to bomb Jakarta state palace foiled



Indonesian police have foiled another ISIS-inspired terror attack in Jakarta, stopping a suicide bombing by a 27-year-old woman who allegedly planned to strike yesterday morning at the presidential palace.

The woman was arrested at a lodging house in Bekasi, West Java, on Saturday afternoon with a home-made "rice cooker" bomb.

The 3kg improvised explosive device had been brought to her earlier by two male militants.


The police said it contained explosives more powerful than military-grade TNT and had a blast radius of about 300m. It seemed similar to the pressure-cooker bombs used in the 2013 Boston Marathon bombings, which killed three people and injured at least 260 others.



The police did not name the suspects and referred only to the woman's initials, DYN, but a confidential source named her as Dian Yuli Novi, from Cirebon, West Java.

She is said to be the first woman in Indonesia to plan to commit a suicide bombing.



Dian, the two men who delivered the bomb and another man who made the device were nabbed in consecutive raids by the Detachment 88 (Densus 88) counter-terrorism unit, carried out across West and Central Java on Saturday.

A manhunt is now on for two more members of the group, Jakarta police spokesman Awi Setiyono told reporters yesterday.

"This is a new (terrorist) cell and they had learnt to make bombs from Bahrun Naim using the Telegram messaging (smartphone) application," said Colonel Awi.

Bahrun Naim is an Indonesian militant who is in the Middle East fighting alongside the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS).

This is the second arrest in as many weeks by Densus 88 in Indonesia, a majority-Muslim nation that went on high alert for terrorist activity even before the Jan 14 terror attack in downtown Jakarta.

Two weeks ago, Densus 88 busted a cell in Majalengka, West Java, capable of making bombs as well as acquiring military-grade explosives and foreign funding.

The Bekasi cell's target was believed to be Istana Merdeka, a building in the palace compound where President Joko Widodo receives visiting heads of state and holds meetings with his Cabinet.



Jakarta police spokesman Raden Prabowo Argo Yuwono said in The Jakarta Post yesterday that the plan was to detonate the bomb at yesterday's changing of the guard ceremony, set to take place in front of Istana Merdeka.

According to the report, members of the public are allowed to observe the ceremony every second Sunday of the month. It starts at 8am local time and usually attracts a sizeable crowd.

Col Awi said the suspect who assembled the bomb was arrested in Karanganyar, Central Java, at about 6pm on Saturday, but not before he had handed the bomb to two other suspects, identified only as MNS and AS, in Solo, Central Java.

"MNS and AS have been under surveillance by Densus 88 since they were in Solo," he added. "They rented a car and drove to East Jakarta to hand over the bomb to DYN."

When the two met DYN, they took her to a local post office where she sent a parcel. Col Awi said Densus 88 intercepted her package without the suspects knowing, and discovered she had sent a farewell letter to her parents.

MNS and AS were arrested on an overpass at Kalimalang, in East Jakarta, on Saturday at 3.40pm. Ten minutes later, DYN was arrested in a room at the lodging house located in Bintara Jaya, Bekasi, during a subsequent raid by Densus 88 officers.

The wife of one of the two men was also arrested in Solo yesterday, as investigations continued.
