Here is my confusion and correct me if I am wrong:
A large percentage of malfunctions in any magazine fed weapon can be traced back the magazine.
30 round AR mags (quality ones) can be bought for $15 to $20 each
So a 60 round surefire can be had for ~$90.00
And a C-Mag that holds 100 rounds are going for ~$250 (not the Korean imports)
So for $80 tops I can have 4 quality 30 round mags holding a total of 120 rounds of ammo. If one malfunctions I drop it, insert a new one and continue fireing, if it malfunctions drop it, insert a new one and continue firing. The likehood of having all 4 mags malfunction is close to zero so ammo could always be moved from one of the bad mags to the good one.
With a Surefire I have 60 (or 100 rounds if you have the bigger one) and if it malfunctions, maybe I was able to afford a second, drop it insert a new one and continue, if it malfunctions, fix bayonet and charge or use the weapon as a single shot.
With the Cmag I know I am only gonna afford on so if it pukes out cause I forgot to douse with graphite again use weapon as a single shot or hit em with the mag and hope for the best.
Now I agree I am removing the "fun factor" by using stock 30 round mags but if you take that out of the equation, logistically, why is there such an interest in these high capacity mags? No matter how you cut it you end up with more shots, less cost and reduce the chance of a weapon stopping malfunction...
As I said I am probably missing something very basic so please educamate me....
