    Except…

    This works as a tactile feedback that your mag is empty.

    Wine at lunch is just one of their secret weapons.

      I’ve heard this before, and believed it to be a practical design for a while, but when I started shooting, I realized that you can definitely tell when you’ve ran out of bullets in the mag because the bolt typically locks back and feels distinctly different than a normal cycle

        In a combat situation, with other explosions and shit going on around you, it’s easier to feel two pops instead of three or whatever than to notice your bolt locked after three pops.

        It’s designed for war, it’s not a toy for the range.
