just in case something happens, lets say aliens, :P How many magazines are enough? for my AR-15,s I have about 15 30 rounders each, but my H&K 53, I only have 7 40 rounders, maybe I need to get more,
-
Aliens? Obama is legalizing them too fast for semi-Autos to keep pace! Joking...
Lots if variables...my opinion is that, if you think you may need more....You Do!
I have a long ways to go before I would feel "well prepared", both with firearms & other items.
Look at it as an investment....I'm one of the idiots that was trying to buy hiCap mags during the last scare....don't ask what I paid for 33 round g17 mags :-[
-
at least my 8 round 1911 mags didn't go up much,
-
buy cheap and stack em deep. you never have enough. the problem is keeping them loaded (and your gun) when SHTF.

Especially at today's prices on AR15 mags.
No reason to NOT have at least 15 per rifle, 5-7 per handgun.
HK mags are a different story... :o pricey!
-
Never enough.
-
5 each for both the pistol and the rifle.
-
How many mags do I need? The answer is all of them.
-
Just one more, repeat.
-
If you have boxes and boxes of ammo, you need more magazines.
-
Realistically, semi-auto, if I need 3 or more 30 rounders in any one firefight I am probably not coming out in good shape.
I have 9 30's for my AR.
Almost all my ammo is on 10 round stripper clips for easier reloading convenience.
I can't carry more than 7 or 8 in my vest anyway.
Good to have spares though, just in case so I need to get some more.
I have 5 15's for my 9 mm.
-
If you are carrying so much ammo that you can't get out of the way of "incoming", then you have too much!!!
-
According to Congresswoman DeGette, we're going to use them all up some day. By her definition, we all better have a few hundred at least. ;D
-
You mean that you can actually have enough :o
-
Better to have Way too many.......
Then to not have enough ;D
Or to say it another way ....
It's always better to have and not need...... then it is to NEED and NOT have.
As Schlock says .....Rule 37 states..
-
I'd say 10 each of main rifle and main pistol and aim for 5 each for any others. For me, that's a minimum. you can always justify buying just 1 more.
-
Be it magazines, ammo, or guns, you never have enough.
