This has nothing to do with the debate here but I'm curious as to why you would state this?

When I was instructing in the USAF our armory had a wide variety of rifle caliber weapons with high cap mags for dog and pony shows etc.

I don't even think I can recall a malfunction due to a magazine unless the mag itself was somehow physically damaged.Just the opposite with .22LR,the high cap mags always jammed especially the mag for the .22LR conversion kit for the M16.

In any case one of the biggest things to be considered in any magazine malfunction is the condition and quality of the ammo itself.

Sorry about going off topic.
