ok I have to ask, which would you find more valuable? keeping the mag in the pistol warm, or the mags in your mag pouch? personaly I think the one in the pistol is more important, becuase if you have droped your empty aeg to go to a pistol and then have to reload, warm mags won't help you very much.

Just my teammates and my self have been discusing this for a while. becuase of this we have tryed many things, handwarmers on the backside of the mag pouch (worked but not very good), IC heater in the pouch (bulky and fell out when you pulled the mag), ect. oh and 70 degrees C is not dangerous to your mags, most mags I have seen will release pressure if it starts to rise too high. the only problem that I can forsee is an open flame near the mag, or if the temp in the mag is rising more than 3 C/sec? don't take my word for it though, I just know from our tests, we could have just been lucky.

oh and as for the coment above a darwin award only comes into play if you haven't done your research or forethought before you do something stupid.
