do we really need this

[Tater]

I guess this would negate the need to load three tracer rounds first in the 30 rd mags.
I would rather use 3-5 tracers to know i'm low then have to look down in a firefight.

Yet another solution in search of a problem. IMNSHO, In a fire fight the last thing you will be looking at is the little countdown window on the back of the mag. It might be useful if you're about to clear a room and want to make sure you're at full capacity, however when it comes to that I was always taught "When in doubt, Swap 'em out", so again not really something that's "needed".

Is that Dench in the picture?

I would rather use the tracers as well. When I was reloading alot I always wanted to make a few with colored smoke for the same reason.

Why add more plastic mechanical parts to an already complicated situation.

i say it is until proven otherwise.

i haven't served in a tacital unit in 5 years.

the unit had a SOP for the ratio of ball to tracer.

it was something like 3:1, last 4 were tracer to indicate a magazine change.

i agree with the others, PCI's and PCC's eliminate the need for this device IMO.

And, if I was in a fire fight with you then you have ALSO informed me that you are low. Is that something you'd want to advertise?

Sure looks like him!

I like one of the comments:

"Still, cool to FINALLY have the ‘Aliens’ - style ammo counter on the magazine. Now, if they just made a 95-rounder!!"

You have to look WAY down and potentially move shift your shooting stance/grip in order to see roughly how many rounds you have left.

Very interesting...but stupid.

Wouldn't matter. The rest of the fireteam covers him while he reloads.

With those sunglasses it looks like Mr. Dench is trying out for a part in the new CHIPS movie.
