Well, this is a minor point, but it made me smile. The Swiss are known for their craftsmanship, and it was interesting to read this article on their "new" assault rifle.

The part that caught my eye was halfway down, where they discuss Magazine design. Quite apart from the fact that the mags are transparent (as if anyone here would forget to count their rounds, or have tracer as the last two <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" /> ), it was the way they clip together that impressed me. I've seen plenty of people taping mags together, but never one designed specifically for that purpose - Neat!
