Outside of a war zone, has this EVER happened to you UW?



Not yet, but I expect it could.
Much of America has become an undeclared war zone. Years ago they were called "High Risk Areas". We have plenty of them. You can find security camera film of multiple shooters committing crimes in the US on YouTube.

I'm glad to see you seem to see value in 60 round magazines in at least some instances.
Actually we never had 60 round magazines. We did and do have 7.62 in 100 round belts that we could fire on rock'n roll. We can even link many belts together.

Don't tell anyone, there are legal semiautomatic weapons available that accept similar belt linked ammo.

Oh yes, almost forgot. We still have 50 round magazines ( drum magazine) for Thompson sub-machine guns.
FBI has them too.

"If you are opposed by multiple armed assailants and have to reload while taking fire, a 60 round magazine will not seem like enough."

There was a guy here on SI who had two thugs break into his home. He ended up killing them both. He got shot too, but he survived. One degree of separation on this.

It only needs to happen once. And you only have the opportunity to be unprepared once. Fortunately he was prepared.
