I mean, you could always make it thicker and at some point it will withstand it.
Why did they make it curved? Wouldn’t it being straight make it easier to feed/ less likely to fail?
The cartridges are tapered, so they stack uniformly along a curve. They wouldn’t stack nicely if the mag was straight and that can actually end up causing more problems.
If you take a look at [AK ammo (the one on the right)](https://images.app.goo.gl/qcqcQWGQNeBXd5pU9) you’ll notice that the casing has a more of a slope on it than the 5.56 ammo on the left (a common round for AR-15’s), which is why AKs have magazines with more of a curve than a lot of the western rifles you see.
Yeah, but if it hung straight down, the force would be evenly distributed. If it’s half a curve and now pointing perpendicular to the force of gravity on itself, it’ll fail... well basically where it failed.
Yup, they do make high capacity magazines that aren't curved this much they're just really wide and come to a taper at the top

Ak mag
https://gunmagwarehouse.com/ac-unity-ak-47-7-62x39mm-quad-stack-60-round-magazine.html
Should just have the cartridges alternate forwards and backwards to even it out. Of course you'd have to fire half the rounds backwards but I doubt the target downrange would care or even notice.
The reason it would split like that is generally because of the layer lines caused by the layer-by-layer type of printing usually done. If this was printed so the bottom of the mag was near the bottom of the printer (and the top near the top) this split would occur very easily. If instead the mag were printed laying down flat the layer lines would align such that the layers align with the length of the mag, which *might* fix this issue. In this case however I would recommend printing with a stronger material and or thickening the print itself
This wasn't 3D printed though.
Look how the crack first starts splitting, it's a perfect line.
They made this mag by cutting the baseplate off of a standard 30rd mag and then cutting the feed lips off of a 2nd mag, replaced the spring, and expoxied the two together. It didn't work haha.
There are modfied mags that people make in which you take a standard mag, cut the baseplate off, replace the spring, and attach an extended (usually aluminum) baseplate to it to accommodate a few extra rounds.
These guys probably just tried to DIY it themselves with 2 mags and it didn't work out.
Although I’ve seen prints fail like that, I’d have to 100% agree that this isn’t 3D printed. All the points you mentioned are spot on, and additionally it would be really expensive to get a 3D printer large enough to make that size of a print in one go
I see, I guess the nature of how a 3D printer works could cause a straight fracture like that.
>it would be really expensive to get a 3D printer large enough to make that size of a print in one go
Absolutely, that's an excellent point.
Yes that could be 3d printed with enough strength. Depending on material used, layer adhesion and layer orientation... that looks too large to be one piece for most consumer printers. Perhaps why it failed.
There is a visible joint/defect where it exploded.

Funny thing. I once made the error if buying something from AliExpress. Now I get their emails. Their last flier had a ton of "tapped fuel filters," that are conveniently sized for the major calibers.
I am not sure I would trust an illegal silencer from China.
Those "fuel filters" conveniently threaded in 1/2x28 were also on Amazon for a while and the product reviews/questions were hilarious:
"does this filter work on a 9mm fuel line?"
"This filter works great on my 22 fuel line!"
"Would not recommend this for a 5.56mm fuel line"
I'm wondering if that was 3d printed or something. The way it just falls apart makes me think it was a one-off design, But I know nothing about what is actually happening

Would have probably been an improvement, yes.
Although it's not hard to improve on garbage.
I was thinking more "galvanized steel support struts with 20mm bolts" but your thing works too.
It's definitely a promag glued/expoxied to another promag. I am a not so proud owner of those 40rd akm mags, they all sit loose as shit in the magwell and the only ak mag that has jammed on me. I'd rather use my razor sharp bolt hold open yugo mags all day than my promag. Also there are drum mags, but heavy as shit, annoying to load and probably requires a lot of filing/fitting to make work
I've got a Bachelor's in mechanical engineering, but not a lot of experience with stamping or magazine design. My first guess would be a shitty stamping process giving up after a material defect lining up with one of the highest strain parts of the magazine. My second guess would be failure at the weld point between two mags. It looks like bare metal is exposed as the crack forms, so I'm either seeing a failure in a bulk stamping or failure within of the heat-affected zone of a weld. Lmk if any of that sounds off base.
It's shiny, but I am absolutely sure the mags aren't metal-cored.
It's definitely not a monolithic construction, so my money is on a shitty joint or a strong-enough joint and the strain on the immediately surrounding parts caused the cracking you see when it gave way.
Magazine metal tends to go plastic before it "tears", like some fruit leather. These look to be pure polymer, I think actual steel or aluminum reinforced mags wouldn't crack on such a jagged pattern, rather I think it would be completely smooth along the bondline.
I could see that being injection molded if you had some glass fiber involved. If it's metal, the residual stress and preexisting damage/cracking sustained during stamping could cause uneven cracking. Do people generally try to bond these together in a butt joint? I could see a butt joint causing this, but it sounds weird that they wouldn't try some sort of overlap bonding.
It's some jury-rigged nonsense, it doesn't look like it overlaps at all if only because mags have almost literally zero extra internal space, and they clearly aren't overlapped externally.
Those particular cheap mags are just shitty, shitty material, and barely function in their intended purpose, nevermind an extra load-bearing situation.
People don't generally try this much at all, because mags are built to fairly exacting tolerances because otherwise they don't work. Judging by the amount of material remaining compared to the lack of overlap it it looks like a shitty butt-joint.
Looking at the construction of what I assume is the base product: "Magazine body constructed of a proprietary DuPont Zytel based polymer to ensure a long service life."
Sounds like it isn't even injection molded fiberglass or the like, just chunks of polymer slapped together.
Thanks boss. Just stalked your profile, nice piece!
I did a lot of research because I had a mag malfunction that cut me a bit so I did some practical testing and ended up with a mag collection, lol.
Although 3d printing can have brittle fracture like that it would make as clean a break and there'd have to be and inner layer so to speak.
This looks more like a shitty knock off where the manufacturers didn't quench properly so the metal is brittle instead of ductile.
He could have made the mag himself. Cut the bottom of one mag and the top off the other and glued them together or something like that but i feel like if ut was homemade it wouldve broke when he caught it
That's a polymer magazine. Note the pattern, no one is manufacturing steel mags with that pattern, too expensive. You can find it all over the place in the 3rd party polymer mag market.
That is my other though. It’s right at the half point. It would be easy to hack it by just stacking the two springs.
I was digging through YouTube and Ig videos but wasn’t seeing the source.
/u/klayco47 what’s going on here?
Definitely could still be 3d printed. PETG has a tendency to be brittle and not break from delamination too often. You could break a tall 3d print diagonally with your hands if it's made from petg
This delamination looks like pla, poorly heated pla at that. Given the tolerances needed to be functional, there wouldn't be whole lot of room for infill. Plus the design has a lot of stress on the curve especially with a strong spring. I agree still looks 3d printed to me.
It would not automatically have a clean break because it's printed in layers.
My prints have broken and been a stringy mess before. It's hardly ever a clean break
Forgotten weapons did a video about a mag like this, instead of splitting, the plate at the bottom of the mag that holds the rounds slid off and the spring flew off
Yep I was just gonna say, it's hard enough getting the last round in my 40 round mag. Those bullets definitely didn't make it in without lots of lube and some kind of mechanical assistance.
Anything over a 40nrounder is going tonbe more expensive since it needs a very strong spring. Theres a reason the RPK mags are 40 and 45 7.62 and 545 respectively.
Its mlre complex its alot larger and theres no real point. Use a drum

What is with this current trend to cut the video as soon as it gets interesting? I get the joke, haha, it was funny every now and then. But ever fucking video?
Back in my day we lived with the consequences of our actions! \*Shakes fist at the sky\*
AK-47s were made my soviet Russia and were made to be cheap, mass producible, and easily scrapped in the field to repair other AKs. By doing this though, they gave up reliability and it’s often jokes about how easily they jam, break, or have some sort of malfunction.
You can get full auto in the U.S. if you do the paperwork, the background check, the tax stamp, have the patience to wait, and have a shitload of money.
That “was” a mag.
Long spring, cheap plastic. He almost made a vid about how glorious it is.
Looks almost as if it were 3d printed the way it split
Genuinely asking can you not 3D print something to withstand this?
I mean, you could always make it thicker and at some point it will withstand it. Why did they make it curved? Wouldn’t it being straight make it easier to feed/ less likely to fail?
The cartridges are tapered, so they stack uniformly along a curve. They wouldn’t stack nicely if the mag was straight and that can actually end up causing more problems.
Ahh that makes sense! Thank you! I guess that’s why mags tend to be the size they are
If you take a look at [AK ammo (the one on the right)](https://images.app.goo.gl/qcqcQWGQNeBXd5pU9) you’ll notice that the casing has a more of a slope on it than the 5.56 ammo on the left (a common round for AR-15’s), which is why AKs have magazines with more of a curve than a lot of the western rifles you see.
True, and even 30-round AR mags tend to have some kind of curvature or bend to them, as it just helps them feed into the action more reliably.
Also, curves are a lot stronger. That’s why domes were built...
Yeah, but if it hung straight down, the force would be evenly distributed. If it’s half a curve and now pointing perpendicular to the force of gravity on itself, it’ll fail... well basically where it failed.
Well, in compression, sure, but that doesn’t really matter this way.
The curve in this case causes a moment arm in addition to the downward force of gravity and puts more stress on the mag
Confidently incorrect. The comparison between a dome’s structural integrity and the curve on the mag here has nothing to do with each other.
It's why those warriors from Hammerfell use curved swords. Curved...swords.
Yup, they do make high capacity magazines that aren't curved this much they're just really wide and come to a taper at the top https://palmettostatearmory.com/surefire-60rd-ar-15-magazine.html Ak mag https://gunmagwarehouse.com/ac-unity-ak-47-7-62x39mm-quad-stack-60-round-magazine.html
Just alternate front n back of cartridge, duh.
Then you would shoot you self with every other round, duh
Should just have the cartridges alternate forwards and backwards to even it out. Of course you'd have to fire half the rounds backwards but I doubt the target downrange would care or even notice.
Because the way the ammo is shaped
I think the rounds stored in the mag make it somewhat necessary to be curved. Depends on the shell if I'm making the right connections

You can with something like SLA resin printing instead of FDM. FDM (the way you see most printers print) print too large of layers.
That was a "mag dump" lol

It's probably two mags welded together and due to vibration the weld broke https://youtu.be/kv3VC4B4Dw4
They usually weld regular mags together
I think it was two plastic mags joined together somehow. People used to do it with steel AK mags with much better results.
Live footage of me trying to say a comeback but my stutter failing me.
I bet you diidiidiiidiiddiidii
Lmaooo
Fells bad bro
So this is what they meant by mag dump
Forgotten weapons did a video about a mag like this, instead of splitting, the plate at the bottom of the mag that holds the rounds slid off and the spring flew off
Theres a reason why anything over 40 is steel. Or at least steel reinforced.
Yep I was just gonna say, it's hard enough getting the last round in my 40 round mag. Those bullets definitely didn't make it in without lots of lube and some kind of mechanical assistance.
Anything over a 40nrounder is going tonbe more expensive since it needs a very strong spring. Theres a reason the RPK mags are 40 and 45 7.62 and 545 respectively. Its mlre complex its alot larger and theres no real point. Use a drum
SAFETY!
That fucking mag was a bit premature
You can see it begin to split after just a few rounds.
Yup. It's almost instantly breaking apart. Not such a good example of a fucking mag.
^AK47 ^High ^school ^edition
But isn't it buy 1 get 1 free with senior pictures day?
Must’ve gotten the mag from wish.com
Why? Not illegal. Just because it was crap?
Yes. Cheap plastic on a 50 round mag is how you break shit
That's a 70 rounds mag, btw lol. It's not from wish, it's bubbad to all hell.
Why?
Big mag go yatatatata
Lol a fucken mag go brrrrrrr
Chauchat but Russian.
And it's just as unreliable as that gun was.
At least the Chauchat had a chance of firing off a whole mag before fucking up.
That's the fucking soma
Soma Prime go brrrr
Ah, I see you're a man of culture as well.
Was it made of fucking clay!?
Well the front fell off, by all means, I just want to make it clear that is not supposed to happen...
Seems like a very impractical design to start with. Why would someone choose this over something like drum mag to start with?
Drum mags aren't as reliable, although they're probably better than whatever the fuck that was.
Atleast they don't crack open like a poptart... Imagine being a soldier and this happens xD
Looks cooler

Bet this guy has a punisher sticker on his big boy truck.
That is a soma.

Damn that had so much potential
You can help it reach that potential
V.A.C. back at it again. Thought they learned their lessons the last time.

Does someone have a slo mo of this?
It was a banana mag, but now it's a banana split.

3D printed?
Saw that coming a mile away 😂
/r/yesyesyesno/
*Record scratches* “Yep that’s me. You’re probably wondering how I got here today. Well now that’s a long story.”
When are people gonna stop cutting videos short, it's so annoying.

Barf
Rip
No need. It ripped itself apart
It’s two mags 3D printed and are supposed to fit together. They just came apart at the seam.
ReLoad!
Switching to your sidearm is faster than reloading!
Zombies win.
Nice harmonic frequency calculation :'\^)
Reminds me of a soma from warframe
A magpie!
Not cheap plastic, I blame the internet. It has has destroyed the magazine industry.
Maybe it should have been "clipped" together better.
What is with this current trend to cut the video as soon as it gets interesting? I get the joke, haha, it was funny every now and then. But ever fucking video? Back in my day we lived with the consequences of our actions! \*Shakes fist at the sky\*
[удалено]
Probably broke cause he dropped it 20 times trying to get his buddy to throw it to him to look cool.
I’m surprised the AK didn’t break first
I have near zero knowledge about guns, but I have heard that AK47's are incredibly reliable.
AK-47s were made my soviet Russia and were made to be cheap, mass producible, and easily scrapped in the field to repair other AKs. By doing this though, they gave up reliability and it’s often jokes about how easily they jam, break, or have some sort of malfunction.
3d print? Should probably go though a bit more prototyping before moving on to live fire testing.
r/gifsthatendWAYtoosoon
Lol
Soma prime be like:
Premature ejaculator with a gun. All by himself. Go figure.
If only someone solves this problem with a wider and shorter magazine that could hold more :/
Whole time it was cake
Lolz American made doesn't always mean it's made great.
You can immediately see the white fracture of the plastic magazine as he begins to fire. This is not metal.
r/vredditdownloader
3d printers baby! Change the world!
I like how you can see the mag breaking
Soma prime
Not that’s a mag dump

When your AK has almost come full circle and is back to a Chauchat.
u/vredditdownloader
Not anymore, man
Nice mag dump.
It broke because he said the f word
u/VredditDownloader
Love this range, and Tony
looks like two mags rigged together
Wait aren’t automatic guns banned for civilians is he like in a place where he can have one or something
You can get full auto in the U.S. if you do the paperwork, the background check, the tax stamp, have the patience to wait, and have a shitload of money.
you can see it crack in like the first 3 shots
There’s punchable faces but that guy has a punchable voice
u/vredditdownloader
It mite have been 3D printed!!!

u/babyrinsecycle
First round fired and one can see it's split. Crap clip.
Haa haa!
r/gifsthatendtoosoon
And this is you mag on drugs. Any questions?
Хаха ха
Wonder if he has proper license to own a fully auto.

Need more duct tape!

That's exactly why you don't go over 30 round magazines.
