If you don't mind that they're plastic and 30 rounds, which is already a big minus in my mind.  No personal experience with 'em though.  Get some and try 'em out and let us know.

They are plastic..... but thats alright if you treat your mags like crap anyways. Because they are $4.50 each.

Hmm..think they are weighted enough to fall free? I have problems with CA mags not falling free from my old M4 and my SR16. Rick

There has to be empty space in there. Put a weight in it and your set. That, or replace it with a metal M16 magazine shell if thats possible.

EDIT: Couldnt you just tie 4 feet of paracord to the end of the magazine (if you have magpuls) so when you drop them, they get out of your way, but still are with you.

would you want 4 ft of paracord going from your body to all your mags hanging off your body? youd get all tangled up, it would catch on trees and plus you'd look pretty dumb

That would not work to good because if you have played a lot you would know that mags and cord attached to you dont work to good. To many cords would mean stuff would snag and you would be stuck in the bush. Trust me it just would not work out. You can go ahead and try it at a game for yourself if you want.. its just not for me for those reasons.

And the CA Mags are metal.......and putting a weight would work but he should just solve the problem and fix his mag release button.

I'm considering picking up a 10 pack.  

For 40 bux, you can't go wrong!  I like the idea of being able to ditch them, and not worry about losing 20 bucks!

The outside is metal, the insides are plastic.  I hate to imagine what kind of stress/damage dropping them can do to the internal plastic parts.

I do the same, John.  Not for every change-out, but at least half the time.  While the metal is scratched to heck, the mags function just fine.  I keep them clean and lubed, and I've never had a misfire/malfunction as far back as I can remember.

I take them completely down periodically for inspection as well (when I clean them).
