Because they evenly fit into 30 round mags? Or they're appealing to that libertarian stoner shooting crowd?

14 full mags, no leftover maybe?
500 leaves you with 16 and 2/3 mags |

I'm pretty sure the 50 cal cans they deliver to .mil are 840 rounds to a can. They are loaded on stripper clips and packed in cardboard sleeves so that's about how many fit I guess.

You can fit a bit more in there, but the reasoning is the load out quantity. I think 840 is right, however a lot of NATO allies have 900 per can as their battle packs load out to 300 rounds. Some runs 200 rounds. It's really about what the mil wants to load out and the companies produces it this way. |

I've always wondered why Lake City packs their 5.56 in cans of 420 rounds. Why not a full 500? What's magic about 420 rounds? Inquiring minds want to know. And now you know.. the number equals two combat loads. End of thread. |

Divisible by 30. 450 would've made more sense. You get a nice number divisible by 30, and an easy number to add up all the magazines that you would need. And 15 is more better than 14.  Although, I suspect that it is 420, which comes out to 14 mags, which comes out to an even two combat loads, so you can figure out roughly a case of ammo for every two soldiers. 15 magazines is hard to divide by two, after all.
ETA: Lol, beat. |

Next you're going to ask why belted ammo comes in 800 round cans with 200 rounds per belt and an alternating 4/1 green tip to tracer pattern.

Because we are the USA, F the metric system.
quarts, pints, hectare, acre, furlong, fortnight, whatever. Just put 420 rounds in and call it a (24 hour) day. |

Was just wondering where they came up with the figure. Troops in Vietnam carried a hell of lot more rounds than that. A light load was 300 rounds then. Most troops carried over 400 rounds on average. Could be there was standard load then but apparently most exceeded it. Some soldiers carried alot more. Most guys who served in Vietnam stated you could carry as much ammo as you wanted as long as you were able to do your mission. Even during desert storm most guys carried alot of ammo. Alot more than 210 rounds. I think even during the iraq war and afghanstan troops carry more than 210 round but I could be wrong. |
