Title: Magnetic Gun/Rifle Magazine Test Fire 3 (please read more info) View count: 461 Rating: 3.6666667 (3 ratings) Description: Does leaving your magazine loaded really hurt the Spring, now it doesn't matter. (NOTE the bottom of the magazine is open only for the video) This prototype is only to prove the concept, it was put together just for a test and this deisgn is capable of 30+ rounds. Rest assured this is not a hoax or any other trick, its simply ring shaped neodymium magnets held in place by an aluminum 1/8 inch pole. The magnets are in opposing polarity and thus repel each other. The bottom of the mag was removed so that viewers could see the magnets inside the magazine and when I fire the rifle the aluminum pole rises into the mag with the follower (which blends into the dirt) but I have a few videos up for people to see. This video was made to show people that the idea has merit and is able to feed a rifle. Magnets are able to do a lot of things and create expansion forces in ways that springs cannot and don't wear out with time or use. Also these magnets are very light, and this design only weighs an ounce more than before I took the spring out. I'm just a former soldier trying to improve the firearms that we use to protect our homes and our families, our law enforcement officers and our men and women overseas. Safety and Practicality were the first thing I considered when I first thought of the idea, and began pursuing this concept. A magazine spring left loaded or not will eventually wear out with use and cycling, and will begin to have jams and misfeeds, lets just hope you discover it at the range, and not in your living room in the middle of the night... Please comment and let me know what you think. This is a 10 round prototype for a newly invented magazine using magnets instead of a spring. Why use magnets? Magnets allow you to keep the magazine loaded indefinitely. And since there is no spring to wear out, there is also no chance of metal fatigue and the magazine could last forever. While I was in the Army we would rotate our magazines every two or three weeks to keep from ruining the springs and to increase reliability. During my service, I acquired several spare 5.56-30 round magazines, and upon my discharge they spent most of their time laying around in a closet. But when ammo prices began to rise from recent political changes, I decided to purchase some ammo, bring em out, and load em up! My problem was that I wanted to keep all of my spare magazines fully loaded with 30 rounds in them, BUT I didn't want to risk ruining the springs. So I started thinking of ways to keep the magazine fully loaded and remove the spring from it all together. The result was magnets, now I can leave my magazines fully loaded for an unlimited period of time with no springs to worry about! I have received a patent from U.S.Patent office (European Patent Pending) and now I'm currently working on modifying this design to a high capacity drum.
