compression magazines with extended capacity (ie. double row) beads fills the top opening in the reservoir and during firing are served by compression spring. The advantages lie in a higher capacity and no noise. Greater capacity, compared to low-cap magazine redeemed on less reliability in the loading.

MARPAT (short for MARine PATtern) is a digital camouflage pattern in use with the United States Marine Corps. The pattern is formed of small rectangular pixels of color. In theory, it is a far more effective camouflage than standard uniform patterns because it mimics the dappled textures and rough boundaries found in natural settings. It is also known as the "digital pattern" or "digi-cammies" because of its micropattern (pixels) rather than the old macropattern (big blobs).

MARPAT was also chosen because it distinctively identifies its wearers as Marines to their adversaries, while simultaneously helping its wearers remain concealed.

MultiCam has background colors of a brown to light-tan gradient and lime green blending in between, the main part consists of green to yellowish green gradient and finally dark brown and light pinkish blotches spread throughout the pattern. This allows for the overall appearance to change from greenish to brownish in different areas of the fabric, while having smaller blotches to break up the bigger background areas.
