Isn't that always the case?

The original requests for proposals on the IAR calledfor a 50-rd magazine, and I think it remains in existence.

I finally saw a SF 60-rd mag at SOFIC and gained an appreciation for its size and bulk. Definitely best for an AR gunner as perhaps the first upload, and a few more distributed through the squad, but not the ammo container for the remaining combat load.
