A serious question for our INGO LEOs. What about the bad guys you disarm? Are they fully loaded/topped off? Different ammo in the same mag? Wrong ammo? Got two in a 12 round magazine?
Generally not fully loaded. Generally not the same variety of ammo. Sometimes not even the right caliber.
I carry the full 6. That’s all the time you have to stop a threat anyway.

Could be they're told "no one needs X amount of ammo."
Could be they think the spring in the magazine will be affected. On the sub, we only had 5 rounds in each mag (1911) to "protect the spring".
Mostly the problem was, our mags were decades old, wore out, and sub supply guys don't like to "waste" $$$ on small arms.
Most things in there don't react well to bullets.
That, and we tend not to want people to get "small arms" close.
Anything that close, and we usually had "special missions" personnel who were better trained.
