“’The idea you need a weapon that can have the ability to fire 20, 30, 40, 50, 120 shots from that weapon, whether it’s a, whether it’s a 9mm pistol or whether it’s a rifle, is ridiculous,’” Biden said.”
I read that US soldiers typically carry about 210 rounds.
Don’t most firearms have the ability to shoot about 10,000 rounds before the barrel is worn out? Once again we get poorly worded statements from POTUS.
In Vietnam, we could carry as much, or as little ammo as we wanted. Personal choice. 3 bandoliers was quite common. 7 magazines per bandolier. 20 round magazines. 21 magazines X 20 rounds = 420 rounds. Plus a magazine in the rifle. 440 rounds. Seems like a lot, but an M16 can burn through a lot in a very short time. Don’t know what they do these days.
