I used to think the same, but having laid around on the floor and swapped out a few C-Mags on the G-36 LMG, it is far from easy. Same is true of the Ultimax. Those big box magazines are heavy and bulky, plus someone needs to re-fill them!! I think 30 round boxes actually regulate rates of fire very well, and for speed of change they can't be beat.

There is a new CL-Mag around now, supposedly for the USMC AR.
