High Capacity Magazines

The original question the op posted was " how do you use your large capacity magazines?"
I will attempt to answer this question very simply. My response needs no return explanation from the op as most reasonable ADULTS can understand the answer. The "large capacity magazines" are used for various purposes depending on the caliber of the weapon in use. For example, although our military uses their automatic rifles for combat, some people in the south use theirs for hog hunting. Now I have never been hog hunting but I hear it is very dangerous and the hogs travel quickly in groups. According to what I have seen, on the TV no less, when you are on the ground and in a dense thicket with a large group around, the one thing that you want it is a weapon that has a large ammo capability strictly for your own self protection. That is what is known as common sense. Now in this particular forum we use a rimfire version of the same weapon. Having a "large capacity" magazine allows certain shooters the ability to perform certain "drills" to either keep their skills current while they are not on deployment with the military or they help keep our law enforcement officers "sharp", while not costing the officer a lot of money to train. Now I feel that explains the military/law enforcement side of the question. I will address the civilian side after lunch. Don't go away as I will be back directly. And no more question from the op as I am answering his/her original question. Thank you and I shall return.

No question but a comment or two. I have seen stories where organizations use our gun for more economical training. However, seems to me if you are training, you would want to use the 10 round magazines to reinforce muscle memory to allow for quick magazine changes during real, stressful situations.

Maybe it is just me, but as I said before, if I have a huge capacity of ammo, my mind says forget what you have learned & just start spraying lead. I doubt I am alone in this. Logic tells me a few properly executed shots are much better than spraying lead. Did not the Marines at one time take away the full auto capability of their guns for this reason?
