Damn...Never hold the magazine with the second hand while shooting, always the barrel, that cause big problems and you'll miss the target every time!! These basiji guys keep repeating that mistake.

Why is that?! If anything holding the magwell makes you stabilize better and more accurate but in the end it all comes to your own comfort in shooting.

I have seen many US soldiers holding the magwell.

Also the mag blowing happens rarely
