Welcome to /v/guns! This is the home of firearms enthusiasts on Voat. If you're into things that go boom, this is the place for you!
RELATED SUBVERSES
The posting rules are below. Violations of any of these rules will result in post removal. Repeated, systematic violations by one user will result in a ban if all of the moderators agree that it's needed. If you see violations of rules 3 or 4 occurring, don't hesitate to mail a screenshot of the activity to the moderation team.
Moderators are held to a higher standard on this subverse and the rules that they must follow are also posted below. If a moderator is acting against the moderator rules, take a screenshot and message it to the head moderator, @Thjoth. Repeated violations will result in their removal from the mod team.
SUBSCRIBER RULES:
-
All content MUST be related directly to firearms. For our purposes, a firearm is defined as a device that uses rapidly expanding gases to launch a projectile. Size doesn't matter, so this includes everything from your .22 to a naval cannon.
-
No memes, image macros, or reaction gifs are allowed.
-
Violation of the global user agreement will not be tolerated.
-
Repeated personal attacks upon or harassment of a user across different unrelated threads will not be tolerated.
-
No spam. If you want to promote your personal site, blog, or company, then make sure you participate EXTENSIVELY in other posts as part of this community. The account of the Tennessee Arms Company on Reddit is a good example of commercial members of the industry participating in a community in a way that betters both the community and the company.
-
All politics posts must go into the stickied politics megathread, which is refreshed on the 1st of every month. If something big is happening (eg. the M855 ban), the moderators will create a specific megathread for that event at their discretion.
MODERATOR RULES:
-
Moderators will follow all normal rules.
-
When removing a post or comment, moderators will copy and paste the rule violation that led to the removal in a reply.
-
Moderators will not take any action whatsoever if a rule from the sidebar is not violated.
-
Bans must be discussed among moderators. A single moderator cannot ban someone without talking to the other moderators.
-
Moderators will maintain active accounts. Inactive moderators who haven't posted or spoken with another moderator in 30 days will be removed.
-
Moderators will not personally attack, harass, or otherwise be complete dicks to members, either during normal conversation or while carrying out their duties.

If you practice reloads you can swap mags really fucking fast. If you count rounds you can keep one in the chamber and never be empty. Practice reloads at home while watching TV or whatever. Find a friendly range that'll let you practice. Compete in 3gun. Yes, having capacity is an advantage but lower capacity mags are a disadvantage that training and practice can mitigate to a certain extent.

What you are talking about would require some mechanical action to remove the existing magazine and inset a new one.
Currently the human operator is the mechanical action that performs this task.
The additional mechanical components that would have to be added to perform this function. Would add significantly to weight, and size of the weapon in have. Making it harder to use and less likely to be carried.

ya i kinda figured that.. what if it was more of a machine gun scenerio? if u had a mounted posituon and it took a box of 10 round mags u could shoot 100 shots as it cycled through? not sure how fast it could work?

Those mounted position weapons are generally fed from a belt of ammo that come out if a large box that often holds thousands of rounds all linked together. The links fall apart as they feed through the weapon. I have seen them in 1000 round boxes for field use on a crew served carry weapon.

You can attach two magazines together. Tape is commonly used. They also make specialty clips to attach them. Some magazines are even designed with special parts that attach to other magazines.
You could also modify the weapon to hold more than one at a time, and quickly switch by sliding the next mag into place. This is extremely cumbersome and doesn't work well.
But either way, the idea of "getting around" laws restricting you isn't particularly useful. They just declare what you did to break the law and instantly you're done. Nobody wins by being "technically legal".
Better to just ignore the illegal restriction in the first place.

great points and best thing would be to practice inserting and removing mags until you can do it at ninja level blindfolded in a pitch dark room.

10rd mags are much easier to conceal in regular clothing.
Personally I prefer my Hungarian 20rd AK magazines to my 30rd magazines.

glock makes 30 round mags
