And it is not uncommon to also carry some extra ammo in stripper clips, for refilling emptied magazines.

Or, how many rounds per day or per week should one expect to use.
Then multiply out by x number of weeks... what is "x"?
Maybe if you're with a group of trained infantrymen, you'll have a realistic chance of living through numerous firefights, but alone?
