That's an old wives tale from mags that haven't been in production for a long time. I've shot I can't count how many rounds through an M4, as have many retirees and sport shooters at my local range (I'll add that the active duty shooters qualify not even a half mile down the road). Resting the magazine on deck is now taught in the Army Marksmanship Course. The Canadian rifle team uses it without issues, as well as some other well known shooting organizations. There are a hundred articles that tackle this myth. http://archive.armytimes.com/article/20080504/NEWS/805040329/Weapons-training-and-qualification-overhauled http://www.recoilweb.com/the-rifle-mag-as-a-monopod-53211.html Chris Costa (Art of the Carbine) and some other famous firearm instructors advise against it, but haven't gone into personal experiences. Meanwhile instructors (military and civilian) and competitors who aren't afraid to play with this method have had tens of thousands of rounds using this method with no noticeable change in frequency of feed issues. You have some recently famous guys who don't use the method (and probably never did due to indoctrination) saying it's prone to feed issues, but you have a lot more guys actually using it without issue. It's your mod, you can do whatever you want with it. But the idea that mag resting causing feed issues hasn't been accurate for quite some time. Once upon a time it may have had some truth to it, but certainly not today. If you want it to be accurate as you say you do, using the mag as a monopod is a widely accepted, proven, and taught method of shooting. Edit: You probably can't get to ArmyTimes because of registration, but here's the bit. *** Here are three shooting tips trainers are stressing as part of Fort Benning's new approach to marksmanship: 1. Rest your magazine on the ground when shooting from the prone. This goes against years of training guidance that said this would lead to ammunition feeding problems. Not true, say professional shooters. If your weapon jams, something else is causing it. Resting the magazine on the ground while in the prone steadies the weapon as well as any sandbag, without harming the magazine or the weapon's cycling of rounds. ***

Reload sounds can be heard from far away similar to vanilla was. I believe it's the same with weapon fire switch clicks.

I noticed that there aren't any US servers hosting this version. Does any one know of one?
