Extended Mag vs Quick Release? Opinion?

[Glimmer]

I'm struggling to decide whether I like an Extended Mag or Quick Release Mag on my A1 rifle (semiauto marksman) and the VF (SCAR). Both feel good to me, and I can't tell if I like one better or not.

I'm just wondering others' opinions and justifications, to help me decide, as I keep switching between the two weapon mods in my indecision, lol.

quick release if you frequently reload for buff refreshing (or some sort of neurotic hatred for having half-empty mags like I do), extended mag for builds that include mag refilling + buffs on bullet shot count

That is actually really helpful, thank you.

Don't bother with the faster reload magazines. Most of the time you won't notice a difference, except for the need to replace the mag sooner.

I find I frequently don't empty out a magazine fully before reloading regardless of size so the capacity being cut a little bit short doesn't factor in anyway

I'm a reload maniac, I'de reload for 1 bullet.
I always go for reload speed, I can't mentally play with the skill the put ammo back in the mag, I just need to press R.

I assumed that to be the case as well, until someone on Reddit compared the two.

I think that data needs to be expanded on to include reloading from a non-empty mag

Good point, but wouldn't the difference be even smaller? Since reloading a half used mag is faster.

Using Sharpshooter Aced + Cutting Shot + Ammo Funnel, For the SAA144 and the VF7S I use the Quick-Pull Mag, Line sight, and built for Targeting Speed. Consistent headshots should make it so reloading isn't really needed unless it's for EDGE/GRIT refreshing, which will mainly happen during down time.

If I wasn't using my current build, or Ammo Funnel, I would swap to the Extended mags, especially on the VF7S because of how easy it is to empty your mag.

I'm not sure, since the time spent chambering the round wouldn't be related to the shape of the mag at all if we're assuming some aspect of realism to this

Half empty, or half full?

Half empty, or half full?

It depends on your perspective.
