As an aside, I don't know why anyone would be willingly using thermold mags. We originally used them with the C7 and they were so terrible we got rid of them in the 90s and bought steel ones. This was a time when the budget was so small there was talk of getting rid of the artillery entirely.
Because it ISN'T allowed. It's against the Geneva Convention to have anything other than FMJs. But out in the field, in Iraq, who would know or care?
