bpthomas85 2 Posted November 26, 2012 Report Share Posted November 26, 2012 So i just bough a Saiga 12 and 20 rd drum mag today. I also bought a 12 rd promag banana clip. This will be my primary home defense/zombie killing weapon. Will leaving these mags loaded damage them? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cycles kill them. Welcome aboard! ETA: MD-20s are extremely durable and dependable. I run them hard and throw them around a bit. I think they like it.

corbin 621 Posted November 26, 2012 Report Share Posted November 26, 2012 (edited) Welcome to the forum. The spring in your "banana clip" will be fine. There is a wealth of knowledge on this forum, if you are willing look. I would suggest reading up on whatever question you've got. Chances are several people have already asked. For example, I just used the search function with the words "spring fatique" and this is what I found: http://forum.saiga-1...gue#entry515729 http://forum.saiga-1...gue#entry291679 http://forum.saiga-1...tigue#entry8083 http://forum.saiga-1...igue#entry65551 http://forum.saiga-1...gue#entry123012 http://forum.saiga-1...gue#entry430371 http://forum.saiga-1...spring +fatigue http://forum.saiga-1...gue#entry654060 http://forum.saiga-1...gue#entry768285 Edited November 26, 2012 by Corbin Quote Link to post Share on other sites

What you are referring to is called a magazine. There are stripper clips that are thin pieces of metal that hold bullets together so they can be easily loaded into a magazine. This is a clip feeding into a magazine. Welcome to the forum . So i just bough a Saiga 12 and 20 rd drum mag today. I also bought a 12 rd promag stick mag.

Yup, you can keep a spring compressed and it will be fine. I have verified this through some of my engineering friends. Edited November 26, 2012 by socom688 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
