Not a big deal if you're behind cover and have time, I guess, but I'd sure hate to be in a "<I>zomg I shot the gun dry!</I>" hurry with one.

If it took STANAG magazines it'd be pretty sweet, but I just can't bring myself to buy a rifle that doesn't feed off the most common magazine on the planet. I'd bet, it's in a weird and (for me anyway) unnatural place to have to reach to change a mag. Changing mags on the AR on the other hand is just a few inches different from changing mags on a pistol, which makes it a pretty quick proposition. Real sad.

Guns you were ‘issued’ in a game of Counterstrike don’t count.

Caleb,

I would hope that it does since it's the service rifle of a NATO country. I think it takes STANAG mags, but I don’t know that for a fact.

Can't tell from the picture if that's an eeeevil flash suppressor or a benign muzzle brake (that's sarcasm right there), but that's easy enough to swap. That might just be legal to own in MA. Are the mags proprietary, or does it take standard AR-15 mags? 'Cuz that would be kewl... Hmm.
