OK, questions:

In real world use how to the stripper clips, in boxes, in bandos work?

I mean, a firefight is on and its really intense. Squad running low on ammo. Some guy grabs one of these cans.

Does he grab a bando and through it to a guy? Then what.

Do the troops have tools that allow them to load from a stripper clip quickly?

Just curious to know. Anyone have any experience with this?

its all about grab and go....Its WAY faster, than loading one at a time, and lighter weight then carrying 28 loaded mags.

So, the troops carry tools quickly to put a stripper clip into a mag? Or do you need/use a tool to do that?

When you open your can, you'll have everything you need right in each bandolier. Just pop the supplied speed-loader onto the mag, run the 10 round stripper into the speed loader, then just zip the rounds right in. No extra tools needed.

If you only load 29 like I do, then just pop one out after loading three strippers.

I don't see a seal on the can, like I have on mine.

Wonder why?

Maybe because the two cans are sealed in a wood box?

You are right ! I only read the discription last night. And promptly closed the window... as my cc does not need a new balance.

The wooden box and both ammo cans are sealed... I picked up a case from Palmetto at Christmas. And here's what's inside!!

To the IRA? A Gunny? What a disgrace.

He could have played it safe & had a group buy here!

It is the real deal, down to the seal. I wonder how folks get this stuff to sell in the first place.

It falls off the back of the truck on its way to the training range.

I figured that is what is happening.
