I received a USGI 200 round plastic ammo box and for the life of me, I can't get the side with the 2 tabs to open. I can only
get one tab to pop open, the other one won't budge and nothing I wedge under it will get it to move.

The internet was no help, as most of the videos I looked at were how to load the box and the cover was already off.

I really don't want to break anything just to get it open. I'm probably just missing something obvious, But I was a bomb loader in the AF, and they wouldn't let us around things that caused actual mayhem, so I have no clue.

Thanks for any help.

They are on there tight. You really just need to grab a corner and rip them off

I use a small set of pliers to peel each corner open after I've pried the slots loose from the tabs.
I will not compromise!

Well,  I carried a SAW, and a few of them were really tight.  But, like most jarheads I just ripped the cover off.
