What's the govt cost of 40 X 5.56 bullets? What would be the cost of a one-time-use plastic mag? Probably no more than the bullets.

Getting abraded with sand etc won't be a problem if they come in sealed battle packs, and you toss them after one firing.

(Of course the enviro weenies won't like that battlefield littered with 'non returnable' mags, among the corpses.)

The cost a 5.56MM round was 7 cents each when I had to pay for one in 1975. We used to get our ammo from security armories and they were indeed bean counters. We spent 100 man hours and about a grand in paperwork accounting for that one each 5.56MM round of ammo and I had to go to base finance and pay 7 pennies, cash money ,to the pay officer.

Never had to pay again as they finally understood that exercise in futility pretty much when one or two rounds popped from a magazine.

We still started our own weapons storage room.........Stay Safe !
