I spent 20 years in, infantry and SF and have spent more time with an M16/M4 than most. I've fired the weapon with the mag touching the ground, it bounces and the lesson was learned.

Yeah, you might get a first round hit but subsequent shots from that position will produce nothing but a bouncing weapon. And as I've said that's ok if you're just slinging lead. And if you're holding it so tight as to reduce the bouncing, well you've just defeated the purpose of accurate firing.

As an SF sniper I held the weapon as light as possible while firing and it did the trick, especially for the long shots. And the reason for the very light triggers.

I've never stopped learning, outshoot me and I will watch and learn. But you're not going to outshoot me with a weapon bouncing off the ground.

And I'll happily go head to head with anyone that desires to fire a weapon with the mag resting on the ground for accuracy.
