Never had such a problem with the same number of rounds through 20 shot magazines, not enough inertia with the shorter mags.

During movement the length of the straight magazine also caught on lots of things if you weren't careful, and prone shooting didn't work.
The Mk1 Bren magazine had the same issue and if you can find a very rare Mk1 mag, they usually display dents to the front. The Mk2 mag (Or Moded Mk1*) had a an auxiliary spring at the front which stopped the forward movement of the rounds.
