New Cheaper Atlas Magazines

Sorry if this is a repost or it's out there somewhere else. I'm not really keyed into social media other than getting on Reddit sometimes.

Looks like Atlas / Perfect Zero launched a new and cheaper version of their magazine. Modern Warriors had these a couple weeks ago on a buy 3 get 1 free sale. Sold out pretty quick. Standard retail price seems to be $45.

Got 8 of these from MW. The tubes appear identical to their standard 140mm. Uses a lockback follower labeled "Gen 3". Don't know if that's new or not, but the other Atlas lockback followers I have are "Gen 2". Basepads are plastic and retained by a magazine floor plate. Cutout is at the rear center of the basepad, not dead center like other magazines.

Nice to have some other reasonably priced magazine options.

For anyone who is curious why the MPA grip/magwell has the reputation of being easy to reload I recorded a little experiment this afternoon. I locked the guns in a vise with the magwell opening parallel to the floor and then dropped a fully loaded magazine (dummy rounds) that was rotated well off center into the magwell.

Results were not surprising.
