Seeing these number made the 1,000 and 10,000 figures seem even more arbitrary. Those who carry a pistol carry three magazines or 45 total rounds of ammunition one magazine in their pistol and two in an ammo pouch on their load bearing equipment (LBE). That consists of one magazine of 30 rounds in their rifle and six more magazines of 30 rounds attached to their plate carrier and/or chest rig. Looking at the Army’s own information about this, we find that infantry soldiers carry a total of 210 rounds of ammunition for their rifles. The combat load is expected to provide the soldier with everything they will need while conduction combat operations that includes enough ammunition to get through the day. It is divided into four basic parts: the things on the soldier’s body, those on their body armor and/or chest rig, their assault rucksack and their main rucksack.
This is what a soldier is expected to carry on them when they go into combat. The Army has taken great pains to develop what is called the “basic load.” So, I went looking to see how much ammo an infantry soldier carries into combat. When it comes to firearms and the ammunition for them, I decided that there could be no better source of information than the U.S. Makes sense right? But today, we’re going to focus on how much ammo do you (most likely) need for a SHTF situation where you have to fight a battle? These are just three of the primary reasons why I would suggest stockpiling ammo, and they all have DIFFERENT answers.
And how much ammo should you stockpile, in general, because you believe either the political climate or a coming price crunch will make it hard to get your hands on said ammo? How much ammo should you stockpile, to have enough to keep “dry” for a SHTF situation AND to train with, while not running out of ammo …ģ. To have a SHTF supply of ammunition, if you are ever caught in a “battle” How much ammo do you (most likely) need to fight as long as you need to fight if you need to fight?Ģ. Here’s the top 3 I can think of right now off the top of my head:ġ. There are more than a few reasons to stockpile ammunition. So let’s start by defining some things FIRST when it comes to stockpiling ammunition …
