Magazines are such an underrated part of firearm reliability, and this is a perfect showcase of why that is. Too many people/companies cheap out on magazines, and it can completely ruin your experience. Even a fantastic firearm fails if the magazine is trash. I hope you can get CMMG to do something about this. They've built up a reputation for making high-quality stuff. This is such an easily fixable issue that they should get on top of it right away.
the magazine failure is hillarious... I hope you manage to find/pick up all those rounds you donated to mother nature... Awesome work as always... keep it up...
I had one of the first conversion uppers with Cmmg conversion mags that went to a standard AR lower, they failed. So Cmmg eventually redesigned the conversion mags… I ended up with a Banshee 57 lower and it wouldn’t take FN mags, when I contacted CMMG they told me they designed it around Promag 5.7 handgun magazines, not FN’s. So glad to see the actual FN mags work with the dissent.
It's well known in the firearms community that ProMags are junk. I'm not sure who they're marketed to. A person who can afford a FN Five Seven probably isn't concerned about magazine cost. So it's troubling a firearms manufacturer would go to the trouble of R&Ding a gun, around junk magazines.
I have the dissent 5.7 & use FN factory magazines. But I will say, the mag release button requieres a ton of pressure to drop the magazine. I noticed then I put pressure at the bottom of the magazine & push up, then push the button. It releases just fine & with ease.
So far the Dissent has been awesome! I have 800 rounds through her with zero malfunctions. Running everything from tula steel cases, standard brass, federal HST & Speer gold dots 124 & 147 HP's. Had to steal a vortex spark from another rifle that I need to put back. So trying to decide what redot or reflex sight to put on on it. Wanna keep it small compact buta quality optic
LMAO at the recycling comment 😂 ProMag definitely need to lift their game, the Pez Dispenser function while hilarious, was a disaster!!!Another banger bro. Cheers!!!!
Never seen any pro mags work well. I just got the Dissent 6.5" MKG9mm. It came with one Glock mags. I don't mess with aftermarket cheap mags for anything
So I noticed in my FN mags, the mag release button requieres a lot more pressure to release the mag. Was the case with you as well? Strange enough, when I apply pressure at the bottom of the mag and upwards, it release just fine? Hm
Can you help me out? What color was your CMMG and what was the distance to your hostage target. I’m trying to find out if these guns are capable of 50 and 100 yard accuracy.
I have watched since the beginning. Never skipped. Glad to see you putting vids on UA-cam still. Also, the mag thing.. ridiculous. They just need to use a P90 magazine for these things.
the charging handle problem is misinformation. I've seen cmmg show this in their promotion video on the dissent, you can take the left handed charging handle and put it on the right with no need to purchase anything.
That's confusing. I've seen two or three YT vids where people all say that's not possible. And CMMG does in fact sell separate left & right charging handles on their web site. Are you sure you're not the misinformation? ;)
love your vids and have recently decided to buy a Dissent in 9mm, as I already have a Banshee in 9mm, so I won't have to buy different ammo. Doing my youtube search on all the reviews, this vid came up with all the others, and as I rewatched it, I realized that you were wearing what looks like a Morgan Dollar coin ring that I hadn't seen you wear in any of your other videos and was wondering if it in fact was a coin ring and if I may ask, who made it?
I hand load 5.7, when doing so my FN57 MAGS take the FMJ projectile, where as the CMMG Pro Mag mags are a tad short. So I'm not sure specs on the Pro Mag are the same as OEM FN.
You've got more patience than I do with those magazines. I'd have tossed em out and started using them as targets. I'm annoyed, and the gun is in your hands. Haha
Duke Nukem 3D. I'm a bit peeved at CMMG, bc my Banshee MkGs 9mm starts smashing "ejected" brass into a newly fed cartridge - instead of actually ejecting the spent brass. ...Apparently my suppressed banshee (& others) has a crappy ejector spring that wears out at the 800 round count. When my 147g casings do eject, they're going out at the 1 O'clock to 3 O'clock positions, which seems wrong. I just bought the 1, 2 & 3 ounce buffer weights to see if that does anything, otherwise I'll just get a new ejector spring.
YEAH BRO I FUCKING GOT IT TO MY GOD! I HAVE AN A.B.I AFTER A MOTORCYCLE CRASH AND I STILL RECALL THE MOST RANDOM SHIT MOSTLY NOTHING BUT FOR ME THAT'S A BLESSING MY CHILDHOOD WAS BEING STEPPED ON AND BEATEN FOR NO REASON MADE TO FEEL SMALL UNTIL I WAS 16 AND HAD A GROWTH SPURT AND WAS TAKING ON EVERYONE IN THE HOOD. MY FATHER MADE ME INTO AN ANIMAL AND I'M NOW A DIFFERENT MAN THAT DOES NOT DWELL IN THE PAST POINT BEING I WONDER IF WHEN I LOST ALL THAT BLOOD AND MY MEMORY NEEDED TO STOP FLOW TO CERTAIN AREAS IF IT Subconsciously PURGED MY CHILDHOOD ..IF SO IT CLEARLY LEFT THE GOOD SHIT! LIKE DOOM, QUAKE AND SUKE NUKEM 3D WOOOOH
Ok so, the mag is definitely crap but wow. The gun just casually double feeding due to crappy mags and yet somehow still continuing to run reliably. I have never seen that before.
Sticks and clamps... Looks like a fun gun. The promag thing is so weird. I've never had one function like it should and yet they remain available. Only other brand magazine in my experience that spit rounds out like that was MFT and I just finished loading them and oh look now my ammo is on the floor.
I've never had ANY issues with promags... when I ran them through a 57. I think promag may have tweaked those magazines until they worked in the 57 specifically. Which might make them not so great in the Dissent or Banshee.
Somebody mentioned conversion mags but CMMG has their own 32 round AR Style mags for 5.7 that are super high quality and very reasonably priced. Check them out!
Just a different lower…standard AR lower. I don’t know why you would think they’d consider designing their own 5.7 mag when the lower was designed for factory FN mags. Perhaps I am missing something…
@GY6vids that's awesome dude. I am one of the Rice brothers from rice brothers jiu-jitsu. If you ever want to use the war machine monster truck for a video let me know. Free 99 for you. I love your channel. Cheers.
Bro, you should have put a few rounds through - not into...THROUGH - those f__king "Pro" mags!! I sure would have... 😂 And I just checked - they are still selling those mags with the Dissent, eight months after this demonstration of epic fail. Clearly they DGAF about their customers. No thanks. Sweet little gun though, but I don't know...for $2K...I feel like most gun companies literally hate their customers these days in terms of the lack of QC and attention to small but important details. If that mag came with the gun, they either 1) Never tested it, or B) Tested it and said, screw 'em, ship it. Not good either way.
They aren't allowed to use real FN mags due to legal issues...trust me, they want to sell their firearms with actual FN mags...but thanks to legal issues they can't sadly.
On the one hand, I am glad Pro-mag makes magazines for basically every firearm...ever. On the other hand... they are all garbage and Ill never buy one. On the other other hand, they still managed to make a better magazine than Glock for the G44.
Peculiar that they charge what they do and then let guns go out the door with those mags. At the end of they day, the total package does not work as it should. Shame.
Not being able to flip the charging handle and having to purchase a separate one for 60 bucks means I'm never buying A CMMG product ever Cause they obviously don't care about southpaws
Man, the combination of the radial delay and light recoiling 5.7 make for one FLAT shooter. Epic video brother!
Thank you. Yeah it really does. Thanks for stopping by bud😎🤝

They’ve switched to AR style mags which also give 40 rd capacity instead of 23

I think I would go for the converted 5.56 magazines version CMMG offers.
Agreed! I’ve shot both and their conversion mags are great
😂 I'm so glad you're back. That target was hilarious 💥
Great to be back! Glad you got a laugh out of it lol. Thank you for the support
Great review Andrew! And as always, still the best slowmo on the Tube! Can see those rounds leaving the barrel, good stuff!
Thank you😎🤙🏼
Great info, great content. TY STAY BLESSED
Great vid qual. Great review. Deserves more views.
Glad you enjoyed it!
You got a thumbs up for recording this in the cold!
How is the recoil compared to the MP5?
Far Less!
ProMag confetti launcher!
😆😆😆😆

Yep the promag lack an internal metal liner so the feed lips expand as you showed in the video.

Smart move
Awesome video and excellent review, Andrew! 17:19 was my favorite part of the vid! xD Hilarious, Man!
Glad you enjoyed it! 😎😆🤘🏼
I had missed your review. always detailed
I appreciate that! Glad to have your support
Wow, Andrews a great shooter.....
Well thank you, I try
Very nice!
Thanks bud!
So I noticed in my FN mags, the mag release button requieres a lot more pressure to release the mag. Was the case with you as well? Strange enough, when I apply pressure at the bottom of the mag and upwards, it release just fine? Hm
I usually don't like 2 stage triggers. But that one looks nice!
It’s great!
Can you help me out? What color was your CMMG and what was the distance to your hostage target. I’m trying to find out if these guns are capable of 50 and 100 yard accuracy.
Easily accurate out to 100yards. Mine was tungsten
Great review
Thank you!
Blue accent light was nice !
Always helps silver guns POP
Hail to the King baby!😎
I can't believe those alien bastards messed up our mags!
Nobody ruins our mags and lives!

I like this CMMG Dissent. UWU.
I have only ever had 1 Promag for my 22lr. Shot with it once and then immediately tossed it into the lake.
Wish my .300 blackout rattler had that forward charging handle
OMG those mag failures🤣 Damn, that 5.7x28 ammo cost needs to go down, here in Switzerland it's close to 2 USD a pop 😭
Damnnnn!
You've got more patience than I do with those magazines. I'd have tossed em out and started using them as targets. I'm annoyed, and the gun is in your hands. Haha
Yeah it was a mental game at a certain point

Yeah neither have I! The fact it didn’t jam or double feed is shocking, and speaks volumes for the gun itself

Only other brand magazine in my experience that spit rounds out like that was MFT and I just finished loading them and oh look now my ammo is on the floor.
lol. you didn't even attempt to save the hostage before going after the taker
Nope! Just smoke em’ and then you don’t have to worry lol
lol the ammo flying everywhere
Lol🤣

As I mentioned in the video. Yes they are great, they fit in a different model of dissent though. I’m hoping they make their of Five Seven Mag
Just a different lower…standard AR lower. I don’t know why you would think they’d consider designing their own 5.7 mag when the lower was designed for factory FN mags. Perhaps I am missing something…
Mags are the beating heart of an auto loader, without good ones you have an expensive single shot club.
Looks cold in there lol
I opted for the colt mag on my banshee. The glock mags are not as reliable.
Hahaha, I would film myself smashing the pro-mags with a baseball bat while playing rap music
Yuppppp
Hey dude. You still training jiu-jitsu? Glad you back.
For sure! I’m addicted

That's what happens when you buy a gun magazine from the dollar tree lol😂😂😂.
When you buy from Wish.com
My mags are really hard to insert and remove. Anyone else having issues with magazines?
Bad mags is one of the most frustrating things about this hobby man.
Pro-Mag! What the heck....
Yeah it’s a headache I always hate dealing with. This is like throwing Prius tires on a Lamborghini
Are you freezing in that tabletop? I think I can see your breath.
At the beginning of the talking points around 2min I discuss it
You don’t have to be left handed shooter, im righty but left eye dominant so I have to shoot rifles lefty

And doesn’t listen to what I said in the video…

Hmmm, dry brush everywhere. Great place for a fire demo Mr. Braindead.

Use the magazine that came with the gun. You're making the gun look bad.
Peculiar that they charge what they do and then let guns go out the door with those mags. At the end of they day, the total package does not work as it should. Shame.
BEEP
Paper target go bye bye.👉🏻💥💥💥🔥
Pro mags SUCK, why would such a high end manufacturer use garbino mags???
There has to be a reason, because the MK57 is awesome besides the mags
@@GY6vids Its weird, like maybe they made a mistake or something.
Your range is vast.
Vast range is yours
Public Land Baby!
Not being able to flip the charging handle and having to purchase a separate one for 60 bucks means I'm never buying A CMMG product ever Cause they obviously don't care about southpaws
Well I wouldn’t be that aggressive about it, but it’s something to be upset about that’s for sure
Sure the shooter doesnt know what they are doing'
Yeah, great gun if you want to spend $1/round…….❤
