Praxis: The booby-trapped AK mag.

Nasty little beggar courtesy of the wars of the break-up of the former Yugoslavia.

Strikes me as a bit of overkill. The old single round packed with high explosive trick is sufficient to cause pretty serious injuries to the person firing a weapon and is much harder to detect. This seems designed to take out several people and kill the shooter outright...but strikes me as unlikely to work in most circumstances.

DAMN!!! That nasty little piece of work might put a halt to the practice of "battlefield pickups". At least for the more cautious amount us.

One under powered round, under powered enough to get the projectile lodged in the barrel, loaded into the mag should produce interesting results when the fully charged round after it is fired. I think you'd need more than safety glasses. A video of it uploaded to You-Tube would definitely be a hoot...
