OK, my two cents. We carried more ammo than mags. We retained mags so we could reload if we got in a bad situation. I am talking about CAR15/M4 mags here, not pistol mags.
We did carry a crap load of mags but we still carried more ammo than mags as the ammo took up less space than mags. Even with fire discilpline, ammo can go fast when the heart rate goes up and the bad guys are near. Sometimes exfil or resupply can be a problem.
I could careless what a mag costs, I just don't want a single shot CAR15. We seldom were able to go back and pick up mags after we got chased out of an area.
