The BETA MAG™ 5.56 MM, fully loaded with 100 rounds, compared with four (4) standard clip magazines loaded with 100 rounds weighs less than half a pound more (see graphic). This is a negligible difference which is far outweighed by its many advantages. BETA MAG™ Advantages outweigh the 0.4 pound weight difference:
- No magazine changes in combat when every second counts
- Long term storage of fully loaded magazines with no resulting performance loss
- Improved ground clearance
- Balanced and stable weapon
