    This one takes a little work and maybe a calculator. If you load every firearm you own to full capacity, and load every spare mag you own, how many times can you put a round downrange before you have to touch a round of ammo?

    for example :
    Glock 17: 1 in pipe, 2x19 rd mags, 6x17 rnd mags= 141 rounds
    thompson smg: 2x 50 rd drums, 4X20 rnd sticks, 8x 30rnd sticks= 420 rnds
    Muzzle loader= 1

    ETC...

    with the one safe I have here, I can fire 6,332 rounds before touching a fresh round, I will update when I can get in my other safe for an inventory

    takes a while to figure, but you will probably be shocked with your own results

    That was kind of fun, and unnecessary

    good question.

    glock 19
    10 mags for it 151rds fired

    glock 26 40rds fired
    3 mags for it(obviously glock 19 mags can be run also)
    + 5 33rd mags for either one to use 165rds fired

    serveral 1911's
    about 20 7rder's 141rds fired

    FN FALs
    50 mags 1001rds fired


    AKs
    30 30rd mags 901rds fired
    10 40rd mags 400rds fired
    14 100rd drums 1400rds fired
    9 75rd drums 675rds fired

    ARs/m16
    40 30rd mags 1201rds fired
    6 120rd drums 720rds fired




    6795??? I guess. Best guess i can get

    Doesn't include all the other random pistols and collection of s&w's, nor shotguns or hunting rifles. Only things I'd def. grab first if SHTF and I had to defend a position.

    Let's see
    10 x 50 = 500
    1x 100 = 100
    35 x 30 = 1050
    24 x 20 = 480
    3 x 39 = 117
    total for the Thompsons = 2247
    Do I have to count the rest? Give me a month or so. Oh crap! I have a box of 30 round mags I haven't opened yet. I give up.

    All I need to.


    Sounds good. More than I'll need! I've got a few boxes of M-14 mags that I'm not sure of the total. I'd have to scrounge around the gun room to find all the 1911 mags and I know I've got some more AR mags socked away somewhere! Don't even get me started on speedloaders! Oh, and the big box of Mini-14 mags that are just waiting for my Form 4 to come through!
