CZ scorpion magazine review with failure

Published on February 2, 2021
Duration: 14:15

This video details a long-term test of CZ Scorpion magazines, evaluating the impact of prolonged compression on polymer and hybrid feed lips. The experiment involved storing loaded magazines for two weeks and then one month before testing their reliability in the firearm. The results offer insights into potential magazine failures related to feed lip integrity under stress.

Quick Summary

A long-term test evaluated CZ Scorpion magazines (factory polymer, Manticore Arms hybrid steel feed lips, Magpul polymer) under one month of compression. While factory CZ and Magpul PMAGs remained reliable, the Manticore Arms hybrid magazine experienced a double feed failure, suggesting potential issues beyond just feed lip material.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the purpose of testing CZ Scorpion magazines under long-term compression?

The test aims to determine if storing CZ Scorpion magazines fully loaded for extended periods, particularly those with polymer feed lips, can lead to stretching, cracking, or other failures that impact reliability.

Which CZ Scorpion magazines were tested in the long-term compression study?

The study tested factory 20-round CZ polymer magazines, Manticore Arms 32-round hybrid magazines with steel feed lips, and Magpul 35-round PMAGs with polymer feed lips.

Did the polymer feed lips on CZ Scorpion magazines fail after long-term compression?

After two weeks, no issues were observed. After one month, the Manticore Arms hybrid magazine experienced a double feed failure, but the factory CZ and Magpul polymer magazines continued to function reliably.

Which CZ Scorpion magazine performed best in the long-term reliability test?

The Magpul 35-round PMAG for the CZ Scorpion performed flawlessly throughout the entire one-month compression and testing period, demonstrating excellent reliability.
