In reply to the discussion: Colorado gun bills: Senate gives nod to magazine ammo limit after six hour debate [View all]pasto76
(1,589 posts)73. here is reality
18 years of army service. One 16 month deployment to the beginning of the Iraq war. That's my cred
If magazine size was. Irrelevant, my beloved army wouod issue us 12 round magazines. We would load them with 10 rounds and they would likely never jam. Because, as you say changing mags is basically instantaneous. Means changing mags has almost zero effect on how much firepower I can order my squad to put down range. Right? Wrong!!
Proof is in the pudding. We use the bigezt mags we can carry. We've also fielded a MACHINE GUN that fires the same round so we don't have to reload. More bullets loaded in magazines is very much how we calulate firepower.
You're JV level talking points are going to get you skewrd here
