I'm in the market for a couple new magazines for my DPMS Panther. I'm leaning toward the Magpul PMAGs. They've gotten good reviews on the forums from (alleged) law enforcement and military customers. If the videos below can be believed, PMAGs appear to be the Timex watches of AR mags. Reliable ammo feed even busted in half? With half the spring gone? Looks like some good stuff to me.
Here are some GI's in Iraq putting the PMAG through a torture test, which involves running it over with a Hummer and packing it with Iraqi sand:

This guy smashed a PMAG under a bus tire, packed it with ammo and test fired it:

j/k. looks like a good product.
When you add up the mags I've lost under the wheels of my hummer, my bus and my pickup truck, it's a wonder I have any wroking mags left! ;-)
