Assuming 15 round mags,Officer Robinson probably expended every round he was carrying.So he was standing there defenseless.

That's a good point. Where the hell did an LEO get 45 rounds of ammunition? He must have had to stop to reload clips? A lot of ammo comes in 50 rd boxes, but I don't imagine the LEO carry a box of ammo in their pocket. I can see two extra clips and maybe a back up gun. Surely they ran out of ammo.

Now that I think about it, its a bit embarrassing.

I don’t know what he was carrying, but a Glock 17 mag happens to hold 17 rounds. A Glock 22 holds 15. So the mag in the pistol plus two spares is enough. A standard belt mag holder carries two magazine.

I have more than 45 rounds in my car. Just sayin’. 45 rounds isn’t that big of a deal.

Three 15 round magazines. One in the weapon, two on the belt. That is a fairly standard ammo load out. The problem is the time gap between round 45 and round 46 tends to get a bit long. Largely because it involves a run back to the station.

uh 45/15=3 one 15 round mag in the gun plus the standard 2 mags more in the belt holders. When I was just a weeee little buck as an Active Duty MP we carried double 2 mag holders on our belts for a total of 5x15 round mags which is 76 rounds, one being in the pipe we always carried condition one. Plus another 3x33 round 5.56mm for the M4's those were C3 when slung or Tactical carry and C1 when Alert or Ready carry.
