If you have to use your firearms in a SHTF scenario, or a “grid-down” situation, regular use will eventually degrade your ammunition magazines and if you are in a situation where you go through all the bullets in your magazine, you will need to have at least a few replacements.
The last thing you want to have happen is to have to stop and reload – especially if it is a life threatening situation!
Generally, most of us have a few extras for each firearm, but how many should you have in stock?
There is no “right answer” to this, but one thing is for sure – you probably do not have enough.
The video on the next page discusses this issues as well as provides some tips on how to find quality magazines on the cheap.

8 four to carry on my body, 4 for home base, Car, truck or Shelter.
I’m all stocked up on nudie mags.

Well one needs to ask their self should i go out like a video game or should I cautiously wait and save my ” clips ” better yet a silent killer is the way to live at this point. Therefore can you make an arrow for starters?
Just one. When the world ends, there won’t be anything or anyone to shoot.
It’s not going to happen snap back to reality
I have two.
A whole lot of em!
1 playboy and 1 time .magazine. So 2
Ive got more than enough. I hit what I aim at
None. If the world has ended, you’re dead.
How longs a piece of string
All of them
10 per rifle 3 per pistol is my minimum . Takes awhile to collect
Ill take a couple Playboys and a box of Popular Mechanics
Just Playboy.
Hey what are you going to do when the modern ammo runs out???? Now I have a bow know how to fashion arrows to take big game. Plus I have a good old fashioned flint lock… Hey I can make everything I need..can you????????????
A lot
A bulit for everyone you love but nune for you because your a basterd
I have only three, and only 300 rounds. If I don’t get time to reload, then humanity isn’t worth fighting for and before I or anyone gets through 150 rounds, an AR will need cleaning. Unfortunately the AK is a superior weapon in that area, but for accuracy, you need the AR 15. Lots of oil can help, but a grain of sand in the wrong spot and it’s useless. But I have an AR15, I know it backwards and forwards.
When the world ends how many mags do you need….?? NONE….
Guns run out of bullets, swords dull and break. My point, when the shooting starts always have a plan B
Mags and ammo are like firewood, when you think you have enough, better go back and get more.
You only need what you can carry, have your ammo in different locations, unless you live in an underground missle silo
None if the world ends. Why would you need magazines if we are all dead?
The rule
is, you die first, we’ll split you gear.
I’ll keep my .308 magazines
Good point. I think he meant shtf because he says grid down situation.
How many can you carry? Standard battle load is 6 mags +1 in the well, that’s what we carried. Now if you have more great but that’s the minumum. Also, no plastic mags. Get aluminum or steel. They last longer, feed better won’t break or melt. It’ll they malfunction it’s the spring and follower which you can easily replace so buy a few of them also and your mags will last longer than you will.
None. This is a poorly worded question. When the world ends, it will be to late to fight.
Oh outdoor life , field and stream , etc.
Another question keep the mags loaded while in storage or unloaded?
Pmags work fine long term.
If the world ends you won’t need any or a gun
More than you can carry on a bugout is just leaving ammo to potential threats
Rounds = Most Politicians & Democrats + Illegal Aliens + Gangs + Ghetto Population + Muslims + Wild Game
Why not have both?
Never had a problem from a pmag, cant say the same for my gi mags.
Thats what caches and matches are for.
I’ve had plastic, not pmag, and they wouldn’t feed for$#%&!@* Switched to metal, steel and aluminum, and no issues. Plus they won’t melt, snap, crack, or break.

My sword does not run out of sharp. not like your gun will run out of ammunition.
