It says that a fully loaded c-mag would weigh the same as three fully loaded 30-round mags. That doesn't make sense.

100 rounds weighs more 90 rounds of 5.56mm ammunition, I would assume they meant four.

Beta C-Mags are made of polymer, that might take the weight down a little, compared to regular steel mags.

Keep in mind that 'three fully loaded 30-round mags' are the weight of 90 rounds and the weight of three empty steel magazines. These three empty magazines may very well weigh more than 10 rounds and a bit more. So thus a 100 round C-Mag made of light polymer would weigh less than the heavy steel.

>>>Unless you are referring to the limited numbers of HK PI mags (which are steel), the mag bodies are aluminum, not steel.<<<
