Is it dumb to tape your magazines together this way?

Everything about that picture is dumb.

I'm sure magpul has some $12 clip they'll sell you to replace the $.06 worth of duct tape you'd otherwise use.

For a fixed position of heavy fighting... no...
It would be extremely heavy and cumbersome on the move though. Some soldiers in Vietnam had 5 magazines tapped together simply because the only reason they would leave their position is if they were leaving in a body bag.

There's your explanation.
No, not if you've practiced shooting with them and can reload more quickly.
I think there gets to a point of diminishing return, though. Pairs work well without adding excessive unbalanced weight
not if you practice with the magazines and can manage them well
same goes for ammo loops/ magazines on the buttstock
keep weight in mind, too

Someone should bust out Photoshop and give Polandball a rifle with taped mags.

It makes sense if you don't have a mag pouch or other LBE to provide easy access to magazines. If you DO, that's a much better solution.
>>28418899
depends if you practice and how many of them you actually tape together
if its just 2 in the gun and the rest of them are singles fine
if youve got like 3 taped together and the rest of your mags are taped together you are an idiot
how you attach them matters
what that guy is doing is stupid cause if he ever goes prone his spare mag is now full of dirt
generally you want both mags facing up and staggered

Travis Haley said he used to have two magazines taped together with a stick as a spacer as his "starter" that's what he kept loaded in the gun, and when he tock contact, he'd have 30 shots, sub 2 second reload, 30 shots. Then he'd reload as normal.
But given how times have changed, he now advocates 1 or two magazines on the support side in single mag pouches like tacos or itw fastmags. That's just as quick with practice, and you can cycle fresh mags into those pouches during a lull in the fighting
I've considered both methods.
>>28418899
No, but I'd imagine it'd be a bitch to transport a bunch of taped mags.

Why didn't he just use a doublemag?
>>28421556
well meme'd anon.
>>28418899
I could see upsides
if you had nowhere to store your mags, due to lack of pouches or because you ere operating but naked maybe
also maybe if you were wading through rivers or marshes, it would allow you to keep all your mags clean and dry

What's dumb is that he doesn't have any stylish bakelites.
