Dear veterans and LEF officers,
I am working on second survey of the real-life combat use of the M16/ M4 ammunition magazines.
In shooting range, the soldiers and the officers are told to collect the used / emptied magazines after the shooting practice is over.
But in real-life combat situation, I was wondering if you throw out the emptied ammunition magazines and not recover them.
This question is especially focusing on the current Iraq war, where there are heavy urban CQBs take place very often.
I have been reading numerous reports that the soldiers enter a house, then finds the insurgents, and engage in firefight. Then the soldiers leave the house, and call the tank or air support to blow up the house, while the insurgents still in there.
In the situation above, clearly, there is no time to recover the used magazines.
But I want to have a surefire answer.
is it true that the U.S. Army uses M16/ M4 magazines
