Hi Razor
I have personally never carried/attached the dummycord to the weapon in this manner, but from what i understand, the reason for this is simply to prevent the magazine from falling and gettig lost. Keep in mind,our weapons are with us all the time and the magazine are not inserted into the weapon when not on ops.
This is actually quite a popular methid and often seen amongst the more combat inclined units.

I hope that you resolve the problem with the first magazine.
Moving and dragging a sea anchor like that if you have to move after reloading could be a challenge.

Agreed, although the cord is attached to the front upper by a small velcro strap hence i imagine if need be, it will simply be removed and placed in the chest harnes.

the small pockets on some of the web slings - designed for keeping our ear plugs. And about a para corde and secured mags - back in S.Lebanon days we have to secure any part of our equipment, from binoculars to NVD's there is some logic in it, several times IDF soldiers were killed by boobietrapped magazines, water cans etc. but i never secured a mag. I remember that one of the soldiers in second squad lost his laser designator, just few clicks before the border, the whole team turned back and searched for it, surprisingly they found it...
