This is a way better design. Will result in less leaks for sure because of the way smaller circumference of the seal. The current design involves a huge gasket that runs the entire vertical length of the mag with 90 degree angles (on the gasket itself....a big no-no) in addition to multiple seal points for the 4 or 5 screws. It was an awful design to begin which basically guarantees leaks following any sharp jolts or venting. Those mags were the Achilles heal of the WE M4 system.
I'm happy to see WE actively addressing this issue. Too bad I have 16 mags of the current design already....they're manageable, but definitely high maintenance.
Of the 4 VN mags I have over the past several months, 0 have leaked even after venting, sitting on empty for a week, and dropping down a wooden staircase and onto ceramic tiling. Great mags!
