I di know during our son's time in Iraq families were gathering and sending genuine Beretta and Mecgar 92 magazine to replace failing low bid replacement magazines supplied by the Army.
Yea it's the aftermarket stuff that will be the problem,improperly modified weapons,just jackasses in general that cannot leave their weapon alone.I used to carry an M4 daily,I was responsible for training a team of guys who carried that same weapon plus a couple larger sprayers and sidearms.I confiscated dozens of non issue magazines,some sub standard mags that caused multiple fail to feed situations.I even took close to 500 rounds of hollowpoint ammo off one guy.........mommy sent it,she wanted Little Nicky to have a combat advantage.We ran some of this ammo through various weapons.........a few misfires and several stove pipes,not a good combat situation.There is a reason why issued weapons are required to remain in the state issued and issued ammo is all that's fed in them.
