Life cycle? Concept > design > prototype > production > sale > use > abuse > discard?
Life span? I have no idea and neither does anyone here. They haven't been around long enough to know for sure. I bet everyone is hoping for 10-20 plus years of use. |

There is a thread around here somewhere from a Team member in country with a very high five-figure round count through one Pmag. It might even be up to six figures(100,000) by now!

Official round count count life of a PMag is 60,000 rounds but that is just a guideline. Many PMags have have exceeded that number by a wide margin and a few have been reported at more than double that amount.
That said all magazines are semi disposable and should be treated as such. As Pat Rogers says, "Don't fall in love with your magazines" |

What if most of them just sit in my safe, unloaded, waiting for Armaggedon? Gotta last a while, I'd think.

Yeah it would take the plastic a long time to degrade, especially in a climate-controlled environment.
