Misc Internal Mags vs Detachable Mags, What's your preference and why?

Just a thought that crossed my mind while the work day comes to any end. Do you prefer internal mags or detachable mags and why?

I've always preferred detachable mags as they make it easy to unload a gun and deal with malfunctions as you got a whole new opening to tackle the issue with.

But there's a lot of guns with internal magazines and magazine tubes. I guess they are lighter and you don't have something protruding out the rifle to snag on a branch, strap or sling. But I don't actually know what the advantages or personal preferences are for them.

Isn’t a detachable magazine what the government thinks makes a rifle “assault style”(I hate that term with a passion)? If the government doesn’t like something that usually means I do

only assault if it holds 6 or more rounds, if originally only holds 5 it's a hunting rifle #logic /s
