How many magazines?

[rbeau30]

If I had any ARs left, I would have a 6 mag loadout on my grab-and-go chest rig which does not include a loaded mag in the safe on each weapon... so 7 in the "ready to rock" category.

If I am stuck in my house (if the Aurora PD hasn't set fire to my cabin, and later denied it) or near my bug out vehicle I am not going to ask the bad guys to wait while I reload some mags from stockpiled ammo. 16 loaded, 30 rd PMAGs fit in a .50 cal ammo box fit nicely with a pelican dessicant pack. So, more than one of those boxes are near the BOV at all times.

I figure that is enough mags, but one should always have more ammo. 24 Federal 20 rd boxes of XM193 fit nicely in 30 cal ammo boxes.
Honestly I think 1K of the ammo you practice with is minimum. But nowadays Ammo is an investment.

I would tend to agree with most of the answers I've seen on this thread, I did not vote because there wasn't a choice for my answer.

10 mags for each type of gun you have should be enough, taking into consideration the mobility factor. I also agree on the 1K rd. stockpile per caliber you have. If you're gonna try and hole up somewhere, you really need to have some friends to do it with, and after all, that's part of why we're here together, isn't it?

Like minded folks looking to associate with one another, get to know each other, and possibly being able to count on each other *collectively* if need be sometime. Pipe dream? naw.

My neighbor and I could hold this part of the neighborhood for some time, just between the two of us.....if you have to go mobile for any length of time, then all is lost besides what you can carry with you. Unless you had enough man power to hold the fort while you're out.

I got 1 30 round mag. That's more than enough.

I love the split.. 10, 20 or 100...

Would love to see a breakdown of who voted for what based on who was in combat and who lived through the first ban.

86, 89 & 94 ban.

2 combat loads per rifle. 14 mags per gun was our team SOP in A-Stan. One combat load on your kit, 1 combat load in a go bag.

I have to wonder for those that answered 100+...

Are you serious or is that just the closest answer to "you can never have enough"

I'm actually a little surprised that 10 is the most common answer...
