We had several C-mags sitting around. I managed to break one on the first day I started to use it. Did you know they have feeder rounds shaped like bullets in those things? Apparently they are supposed to stay in the magazine.
C-mags are wholly inadequate for that type of application. They are really heavy, not particularly reliable and most importantly very slow to reload as you have to hand jam the entire mag.
I have seen C-mags used on submachine guns, but it was a special-purpose application for travel in civilian vehicles....and only so the guy riding shotgun could suppress until the 240B was fished out of the trunk.
