There is really no downside to having too much ammo. There is a big downside to not having enough ammo.

How about a machine shop and chemistry equipment, maybe some hydroponics greenhouses, some basic ore refining equipment. Basically what I'd need to make my own guns and ammo. I'll be spending most of my money on that, and I'd probably work a lot for nothing. Be nice to have something to do though.

[@mythologicalnomad6520]

MichalSoukup1995 people shouldn’t know how much ammo you have. If you flaunt it so everyone and their mama can see the beautiful amounts of ammo you got that opens yourself up to things you probably don’t want. No one but my wife knows how much ammo I got. As for guns my friends know some of them. It’s better to be secretive about these things. But you should have a good guard dog if you live alone and you are paranoid of that.

A similar thing happened to me involving a local law enforcement officer. I carried two extra mags for my Glock 19 in addition to the one in the gun and he was like "that's pretty concerning, that you carry that much ammo", and "even I don't carry that much when I'm off duty". I said to him "if I was in your shoes I'd be carrying as many mags as I physically could, with the way you guys are being treated around the country right now." No such thing as too much!

[@usnva5638]

In New York we are allowed to have Playboy, but it must have 7 pages or less.

[@dylanwight5764]

@PointyCheese: Same basic problem in Australia. Our firearms are heavily restricted (and that's fine; nobody here cares that we can't legally posses and operate an AR-15 except some avid gun-nuts who are out on the range most days of the week anyway). Acquiring a Cat.A or Cat.B isn't too difficult, provided you can prove you have the necessary safe storage and your magazines are limited to no more than five shots, or ten shots at maximum. Here, firearms have always been handled as tools rather than as weapons. That's just part of Australian gun culture. Hell, many of us would take a bow over a firearm any day, myself included. What the USA generally considers to be weapons of self-defence, we consider to be tools in everyday work. If you don't need a firearm for your work, you don';t need a firearm.

Good exposition... As a Combat Engineer in the US Army, standard ammunition loadout for the M4/M16 was 7 thirty round magazines - of course, when you take into consideration that doctrine hammers into us that we fight in fireteams, 7 thirty round magazines should be sufficient. If you're in civil unrest with just yourself, the question becomes: How many can you practically carry before your ability to move is hampered. I would suggest that no one should be trying to fight alone. Yes, acquire as many magazines as you can - but build your fireteam. I cannot stress the importance of training a fireteam and working as a fireteam more.

[@outback3791]

We should always seek peace above all else. I suggest avoiding a potential fight at all costs but when someone brings it, give it to them like they've never seen before.

[@donball5918]

As a second thought, "way back there" in the early 1990's I bought a Winchester M1 carbine (then only $200) and was in the market for extra magazines. At that time, dealers were trying their best to unload commonplace 15 round mags for $1.00 each and I bought 40 of them covered with cosmoline and securely wrapped in heavy wax paper. Shortly thereafter came one of the well-known magazine bans and I noticed that the price of these jumped up to $10.00 apiece since these were suddenly classified as "high capacity." As we are often told, "Strike while the iron is hot" when it comes to stocking up on extra mags while they are available at a reasonable price. .

[@lewis9888]

It is now Feb 2024. Look at the prices of 30 carbine magazines now. And in my area of Indiana 30 carbine ammo is around $1 per round. I bought an Iver Johnson 30 carbine, 30 carbine "Enforcer" pistol and a Ruger Blackhawk 30 carbine in 1980. I think each one was near $200. The prices for them now is ridiculous.

Originally yeah. When New York first introduced the NY unsafe act a few years back.

Then they went and changed it because over 100 thousand police officers became felons over night. And I mean literally over night...a Friday night.

One set remains unopened in their packages as 'backup'. If I break or damage one, it gets replaced with one from the back up, and then I order a replacement for the back up set. My $0.02. YMMV.

Ideally, I don't need more than 2 or 3 spare ones for backups since we can order a replacement as soon as one breaks.

I would never argue with having lots of mags -- I have at least the minimums you recommend...and I have a lot of rifles and pistols (LOL). But I think it's really important for people to think about the fact that there's NO WAY anybody can get into "lots" of gunfights and come out alive. I think it's really important for people to think HARD about ways to avoid firing a SINGLE SHOT in a "grid down" situation -- not counting game, of course.

Before I even I watch this video I'm going to answer your question. "How many magazines do you need?" -- All of them. I recently broke down all my ammo into ammo cans and laughed when I realized exactly how much I have, thinking I've obviously gone overboard and how much money is tied up in it. But I still I have cans that are empty and I feel bad for them. Looks like I've still more ammo to buy.

When I realized how much ammo I had accumulated and how many different calibers I had to stock, I got rid of anything that doesn’t chamber 9mm, 5.56mm or .22LR .... the most common and available ammo in the US. Then I started a worksheet to keep track of my ammo inventory by caliber and age so I could use ammo on FIFO basis when I go to the range, always buying new ammo to replace the ammo Im going to use BEFORE I go to the range. After the Obama era ammo shortage and price hikes, never again will I be caught in short supply of ammo.

Now get tbis. Constutional carry! No permit to ocaknooen orn concealed. I did get a CCW to cover me in 37 other states.

[@jklop7841]

There's no way you guys in California DON'T buy mags in other states and take em home.

[@patrickmccoleman5835]

I litterly just loaded four 33 rd mags, absolute nightmare to load past 20 rounds, I can't feel my thumbs and couldnt get past 29 or 30 in each lol

[@albertorivera5903]

These unconstitutional high capacity magazine bans make no sense. NY,NJ,CT,California to name a few are violating our rights. Common use magazines are 15 rounds for most semi auto hand guns and semi auto rifles are 30 round magazines. Yet we are only allowed 10 round magazines.

[@OrGaNiCsOuRkUsH]

Wow, its incredible listening to you back in 2011. Spot on information. I wish I would have found this earlier. Here in Colorado they changed all the magazine laws July 1st, 2013 but we will not abide by any unconstitutional 'laws', MOLAN LABE

[@timothyt1312]

Buy more ammo and keep mags loaded !

[@sjdm4211]

During WROL/SHTF your magazines will likely wear out, get lost, broken, loaned out or stolen. It makes sense to have more magazines than what you will carry on your rig. Many, many more! Maybe it makes people feel good but a arbitrary number is just that. Whatever you can afford would be the goal(s). When you buy your rifle plan on buying: a simple 2 point sling, 6 quality magazines, a way to carry them(i.e. chest rig) and as much ammo as possible. Now you have a decent loadout and will be better off than 99% of the population. After that buy mags and ammo as you can afford them and be on the constant look out for good deals.

[@blackhawkmg3722]

An old video however, many points you have are still very valid. Some things I'd add to the overall question is how many mags do you need? For your long rifle.. basic load for a Soldier is 210 rounds.. as many can tell ya in a situation where, God forbid we ever need to use them as the founders warned us about, in practical experience you need at least double that capacity. In otherwords, min 420 rounds on your person, 20x30 round mags and 5 for your sidearm. Dont waste money with some crazy drum thing.. it will throw off the balance and add weight to the long gun.. proper practice and ability to change mags efficiently and quickly will vastly outweigh any benefit you theoretically get from a drum setup. God Bless to yall and keep your powder dry.

[@seger27]

Having many back up mags also is great for when you go out and train. Beats reloading often during training

[@MagicPrepper]

Great refresher to watch this video again Sootch! Tons of people tell me that all of my ammo reserves should be in magazines or else it's worthless. What's your thoughts on that?

[@SatedRetribution]

Seems pretty ridiculous. If you stockpile 10,000 rounds of 5.56 you need over 300 mags? That's nuts. Stockpile a combat load x3 or so for redundancy, then top off your mags from then on

[@jglitch0]

So ill need 3 times the recommended in california because i can only have 10 rounders :D

[@user-yk7dc9hu2k]

And those 10 rd mags are like 3 times the price .... I live in California too, it sucks

[@jglitch0]

iller If youre going for pistol mags. For rifle you can get Hex mags for the same price as a pmag online, and you can turn those hex mags into 30 rounders if you dont care about the laws that is for 1$ extra for a GI spring lol.

[@user-yk7dc9hu2k]

+jglitch0 haha nice, good point. Luckily I got a marine buddy who gives me gi mags sometimes. The springs are usually shit but like you say, just buy a new set and put em in. Nice to have just in case

Jared Hunnicutt Well some of us dont want to run or dont have a choice, me i dont have a choice because ill be here for 5 months for boot camp and SOI.

[@MidwayShooter]

Why do we need more magazines? They make me happy..I like happy

[@stevenmerlock9971]

Your question begs another. How many magazines can you carry? I only carry 2 magazines for the firearms I have on me at any given time. A better question is do you have enough ammo for the magazines? Example my shotgun can load 9 rounds +1, but I carry a couple of boxes for different tasks.

[@rustyshackleford17]

For "fighting/shtf" weapons My personal opinion is 10 per rifle, 5 per pistol with an extra 10 and 5 respectively for range/practice use. Reality is that its around 4 per pistol and 5 per rifle. I made it a point to get a decent chest rig for every rifle I own since all of that gets expensive after outfitting the rifles with lights/optics. A decent carrier with surplus plates will still run $350-400 (sorry, steel plates are way too heavy) so I opt for a chest rig, decent holster, and some belt pouches.

[@OneBoundMusic]

with a double stacker, you can (and should) easily run 8 rifle mags.

[@rustyshackleford17]

***** Yeah you can. My plate carrier I can run 6 and I can have 3 more on my belt. However, plates are fairly heavy and all those mags add up fast.

I went into my stack today to add a couple mags to my range bag. I stocked up 6-7 years ago and hadn't really looked since then. HOLY CRAP! I found 27 BX-25 10/22 mags, 40 PMAGS, 13 40 rd AK mags, and a bunch of other misc magazines. All new in the plastic. And a bucket with 1,240 rd of 5.56 on strippers I didn't know I had. I honestly forgot how deep I stacked.

[@aviatorgamer3057]

My dads under the impression that you only need 3-4 mags but I’m almost total polar opposite. I have my back stash of quite a few mags, he’s only got 3 AR mags. Thinking about buying up mags still but keeping them in packages in the event of a total high capacity ban, like another Clinton era crime bill since they’ll definitely be going up in value.

[@TUKByV1]

Too many forgot about Clinton. Good on you for stocking up. I have a family member who doesn't, so I have to take up the slack.

Washington State chiming in, our standard cap mag ban goes into effect in two weeks. Purchased a hundred or more various brands and calibers in the past couple months. Rather have too many than not enough.

[@checkout982003]

When the Colorado magazine ban was about to take place in July, I prepared myself by purchasing magazines for all of my current and future rifles. Come to find out after the ban, the gun shops here in Colorado just gave the politicians the finger and were selling them anyways. I just bought 2 Glock .40 22 round mags from my local gun shop and they were selling the 9mm 30 rounders for 44 bucks.

[@vincehollaway]

I wouldn't call it hoarding at all. It's being prepared and smart.

[@lonesurvivor5800]

Vincent Hollaway yeah, but govt would, so would those neigbours who doesnt like guns or hate when you shoot your "assult rifles" in the sunday morning :P.

[@546cowboy8]

It depends on if you location is stationary or mobile. That means if you have more than you can carry loaded when bugging out you have too many. I would also consider drum magazines in your arsenal but they can get heavy really fast.

[@rich276825]

[@Sackmatters]

@@Angel-je3bh I don’t even have a AK and I have 2 mags.

[@walperstyle]

Ok gun guys, why don't you try to save money and stick with only 3-4 different caliber guns? I'm Canadian (I know I'll get flack for that), but it makes more sense to have a SKS 7.62x39, AR .223 , 9mm pistol, and .22 LR. Part of prepping isn't having to take up a lot of space carrying a bunch of un-necessary weapons. Keep it simple no? (awaiting butt hurt from gun nuts)

[@hillbillyjim329]

it is a good sound idea,,, but some feel the need to over prep.... but that is alot of money that could be spent on the 3-4 basic weapons, and alot of other survival food and water.

[@walperstyle]

Don't get me wrong, I'd love to have a savage in .338, but dang. This cowboy can't afford to miss!

[@hillbillyjim329]

No shit,,, money is hard to come by these days,,,, gotta take what you can get, and accessorize it as you go.

[@hannamand]

TOTALLY agree! I'll even shorten your list a bit... Get your AR-15, and the .22LR bolt conversion (two guns down), pistol of choice (I prefer the 1911 frame .45, but I also have the conversion to fire .22LR), and a shotgun (hopefully some food will fly over). There you go 3 - 4 guns. Now take them apart, put 'em back together and get good at shooting and fixing them. More importantly though, think of where you're going to get food, water, and fuel to cook, then think long and hard about if you're going to be able to "defend" your resources when unarmed starving people come to take "your" resources.

[@walperstyle]

Fuel is not a problem. I work in the oil and gas industry and know where every wellhead in Canada is located, as well as pipelines and such. Fuel sources and types will never be a problem. Knowledge is power.

[@SanitysVoid]

During the last gulf war they found a fighting position with dead Marines in it, they figured out that they had been over run because they were trained to retain their mags rather then dump them and not worry about them until the heat was off. So there is a time and place for the two ways of doing things.

[@RobARug]

Q: How many magazines do you need? A: Yes.

[@MichiganWoodlandWarrior]

MAGAzines like Ammo and Rifles I have more than I need, but not as much as I want. I want 25 X 30 rounds newer mags and 5 X 75 round drums per person. How does it feel to want? It's motivating, make me want to work harder to get it. I would buy like he said here and there on sale or a gun show. ---mww

[@grandpa9607]

You can only carry so many if you bug out. Ounces leads too pounds and pounds lead to pain. Also moving slower. So what do you do with the mags you can't bring with you? Break them? Try to hide them? Cause you can't carry all those mags full or empty. If you stay where your at those mags are great. But not on the move. Good video. I need a few more mags myself.

[@americanmade36merica99]

When I carry on a daily basis, I carry anywhere from 4 to 6 magazines

[@passiveaggressivenegotiato8087]

[@liberty4392]

Someone I know got 7.62 x 39 AR-15 rifles. They got seventeen magazines for their multiple rifles. The magazines are not common for these. Twenty, twenty-eight and thirty round 7.62 x 39 magazines. Invested in those magazine pouches as well to carry one in the long guns and at least another two at their side. Carry the rest in a backpack. I also agree with doing tactical reloads rather than dumping your magazines. Reload the magazines later minus one round. It makes it easier to seat during a reload rather than fighting spring tension.

[@njineermike]

The correct answer to "how many magazines do you need" is always "more".

[@bungmanagforty7959]

3 mags for every pistol 5 for every rifle. Any more then that is silliness.

[@bikebrian]

How did you arrive at these numbers?

It's what you can reasonably carry at one time.
