I've noticed that although there are some firearms featuring magazines with open panels or clear plastic inserts (Makarov, Magpul PMAG, Chauchat, and the S&W ASP that goes a step further with clear grip panels as well). But it's not a popular design feature for magazines. So in our time of modern space-age polymers, why aren't we doing this more often? I'm sure it's cheaper to just drill little holes in the backs of the magazines, but clear panels on the sides would give a much quicker, more positive round count and look pretty cool. So why not do it?
