This video conducts a rigorous torture test on various translucent AR-15 magazines, including the Magpul T-Mag, Lancer Gen 1 & 2, MFT Engage, KCI, and Ament 2. The tests involve drop tests from increasing heights, drag tests behind a vehicle, and impact tests with weights. The Magpul PMAG Gen 2 served as a baseline. The Lancer Gen 2 and Magpul T-Mag demonstrated the most resilience throughout the extreme testing, with several other magazines failing at various stages.

Quick Summary

The Magpul T-Mag and Lancer Gen 2 translucent AR-15 magazines proved most durable in extreme tests, including drops, drags, and vehicle run-overs. While many magazines failed due to follower breakage or structural damage, these two models maintained feeding capability after significant abuse.
