My current issue with the big mags
As most of you know, once you get the traders high enough you can buy bigger, 60-round mags for AK's and AR's (and probably some other weapons)
These mags however, are in my opinion unrealistic in the current setting of the game, and i will suggest a change which will improve on the game
In game i feel like the quad stack mags are incredibly unbalanced.
They add basically only positives, while the drawbacks are non existant. having 30 extra rounds that you can dump at your target without reloading is quite the advantage. my problem is, there is almost no penalty for it. Quad mags are heavy, can be prone to jamming and aiming definitely wouldnt be easier with one of these mags dangling under your gun. not to mention they dont take up any extra space in your rig whatsoever.
My suggestion: Make the ergo penalty ALOT more intense, and make the reload speed about 50% slower. In the future when malfunctions are added, i feel like a failure to feed malfunction would be realistic when using quad mags that are in low condition.
Quad stacks will work in optimal conditions, but in a humid and dirty jungle like lamang, they will quickly foul up and stop working. a seasoned PMC will know this, so as a mid-high tier replacement (not for endgame yet) i suggest adding the soviet 40 and 45 round longer mags for the AK, and for the M4 the 40 round PMAG.
These are much more common in the world in real life, and are almost just as reliable as standard 30 round mags. not to mention they can look quite cool with the right build.
They would have less drawbacks than the quadmags, making them always a viable option for just a bit extra firepower.
