Had to qual on the M16 today.  After we were done I grabbed a bunch of stripper clips and a spoon.  Is it worth breaking open a 300 round sealed bag of ammo and putting it in the clips or is the ammo better of staying in the sealed bag.  You think I should just toss those clips out or what?  I figured it wouldn't hurt of grab them..... Better to have and not need right?

Well, if this is a [b]real[/b] SHTF question, the answer would naturally be. "  You'd better have that ammo in mags strapped around your legs."

I personally wouldn't break open anything that is hermitically sealed until it looks like we are really going to go for it.  Just toss the stripper clips in a box, and wait, hopefully you will never need it, but just in case.  Some folks have to pay real money for those things.

Load the ammo onto the stripper clips and store the clipped ammo in a USGI ammo can.  The can will protect better than the plastic sleeve, and you'd be much better off with the ammo in stripper clips than loose in boxes.

Agree.  I can't believe it but *I* need still more stripper clips.  [:D]
