Why do rifle cartridges come in boxes of 20 when magazines have

>>34229870
because 3 boxes fills 2 mags
and because i drive my car on the parkway but i park it in the driveway

Why do hotdogs come in packs of 10 but buns in packs of 8?

what kind of tard isn't buying in bulk to begin with

>>34229870
Just do like everybody else, and only buy 20rd mags

I'm just talking out of my ass here, but it's what I believe
It was the BAR and it's damn 20 round mags

>the world may never know..

>>34229906
>20 rnd mags
What next? 10 round? 5 round? ONLY ONE IN THE CHAMBER?

Because ammo manufacturers know you only shoot about 100 rounds a year anyway so it doesn't matter.

>>34229887
So you buy more. 40 will be the smallest common multiple.

Not all magazines are 30 rounds, dumbass.

>>34229870
mil ammo comes in boxes of 30 rounds.
3 stripper clips loaded with ten rounds each, inside a cardboard sleeve,
just like your favourite meal, (hot pockets)

hmmm

>>34229967
I never have seen the point in these

>>34229870
My 5.45x39 comes in boxes of 30.

>>34229980
so superstitious psople can just load 30 rounds and there isn't as much pressure on the feed lips

>>34229980
dunno either. But a gun store near me had them on sale so I bought one to see how it runs, so far so good after a couple hundred rounds

>>34230007
Oh.
Is that why I've seen some faggots in Youtube comments talking about downloading their mags by two rounds for some god forsaken reason?

>>34230020
Idiots think loading mags to capacity wears out the spring.

>>34230079
that and they're to afraid to handle their rifle like a tool so they don't insert the mag properly thus they think they have some mechanical flaw and they compensate for it by under-loading the mags

>>34230104
This is more what it was in reference to; ease of loading mags on a closed bolt.

>>34230079
I'm sure there's a special brand of retard that does.

The real reason for doing so is to let there be room for the bolt carrier to press down so you can +1 or reload without slapping dat ass.

Reloading on empty with bolt back is obviously not tactical enough

>>34230154
it's not even that goddamn hard with a full 30 on a closed bolt, and there's always the slap if they don't have the arm strength to push it in. Now if they were trying to win fastest reload championship then I might see what they're going for, but seriously come on.

why do cases come in 480, boxes of 10 and mags hold 6?

I solved this dilemma by getting a soviet surplus 40 round magazine for my wasr. EZ PZ.

>>34230506
The older stuff came in multiples of six. The newer stuff comes in boxes of 10 because it's for the Sturmgewehr 57, which feeds from a 20 or 30 round box magazine, although 24 round box magazines exist. The latter are a consideration on the multiples of six ammunition of yonder.

>>34229870
Because Stoner built a rifle for 20 rounds

>>34229887
buns go bad faster than the dogs

>>34230545
makes sense but it's still annoying AF

>>34230567
>it's still annoying AF
only if your an autist

>>34229897
Came here to say this.

Your an idiot...just like everyone else who starts this stupid fucking thread.

>>34230580
where do you think you are?

>>34229870

Who the fuck buys the packs of 20? If you're not buying by the hundreds, that means you're poor, should stop shooting.

Also, blame the jews.

>>34230567
Chill dude.
