That way the bullet doesn't have to travel UP the magazine into the chamber, it uses Gravity to it's advantage by going sideways... They shoot quantity instead of quality.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not a fan of that style shooting. I own 15 firearms, all dating between 1906 and 1932. When it comes to guns, I'm very classically minded!
