What's the average mag capacity of your autochuckers?

[Marko Kloos]

A little math exercise for the bored:

Write down your autoloaders, add up their respective magazine capacities, and divide the result by the number of guns. Just wondering whether the ratios between Wondernines and single-stack big bores even out in the end. Theoretically, we should see the majority of votes around 9 rounds.

Pre-ban, unneutered magazines are assumed for this poll, even if you don't own any for your particular gun. Round the count off as proper, i.e. 9.49 becomes 9, 9.51 becomes 10.

 

[Meowhead]

Bored? Why yes, yes I am.

Seventeen magazines. Average capacity: 15rds.
Five automatic pistols. Average capacity: 10rds.

 

[Kermit]

Word problems? I log on to find word problems?
My answer is: about 11 (11.28). Snuck in a couple hicap pistols w/ mags

 

[Ewok_Guy]

12.5 for me, reckon that becomes a 13.

 

[Ala Dan]

11 for me, with my Sig's.

13.33333333333333333 etc..

 

[kdmoore]

what about guns with several widely accepted magazine capacities.....

So what should I put down for my hi-power? 13 for what it was designed, 15 for the south african hi caps that fit flush, or 17 for the ones that don't fit so flush?

I'm guessing that we should be talking in terms of flush mounting mags (no +2's or 30 rnders)

I'm guessing that we leave the one out of the pipe as you said magazine capacity.

so (15 + 16 + 13 + 8)/4 (we'll leave the .22 out of this) gives 13

Average=9

I just added a high cap 9mm, last week the average would've been 7.

 

[flinch_of_gt]

11.5. Double-stack 9s really skew the numbers, I daresay.

Sig P228 (13), Sig P239 (8) Glock 19, (15), Ruger Mark I (10).

12. Think my wife will accept a low average as an excuse to buy more Glocks?

 

[Hkmp5sd]

Handguns = 12 rds.

All semi/full-auto rifles and subguns are 30 except for SKS and Garand.

 

[gwalchmai]

AAARRRHHHGGG!! I guess the trains meet halfway!

My CZ is designed for 15 rounds, but I can buy 30 rounders, and maybe 40s. OTOH, it can also take 10s, or load single shots...

This is just too much, the only solution I can see is to buy a new pistol.

 

[Country Boy]

I voted 10, but if it wasn't for the 17rnd pre-bans I bought for my BHP recently, I would have had to vote 9.

 

[blades67]

With 13 semiauto's my average is 11 even.

 

[Yakko77]

Low capacity

Hellooooooooooo!!!

I only have one auto-loader (Kimber Custom 1911) and I have 8 mags that are 7 rounders (5 Wilsons and 3 Kimber mags) and 2 mags that are 10 round (1 Wilson and 1 McCormick Star). The McCormick mag is gathering dust as it does nothing but jam. :barf: The Kimber mags have very rare failures but that isn't an option when it comes to my life so I only use them at the range. The Wilsons NEVER jam so I load them up for the range and for home defense. No CCW in Nebraska............YET!!!!

 

[Tamara]

Heck, only my P-226 and 96D are capable of holding more than 10, and they only hold eleven. The only 9mm I own is an 8-shot single-stack.

 

[Foxy]

15 + 7 = 22/2 = 11 average.

 

[John Marshall]

27 mags, 8.44 rounds average. Most are 6, 7 or 8 rounders for 1911 variants of one size or another.

 

[weldonjr2001]

I don't know, but last night after bowling 3 games in league, my average first ball count was 9.3 pins, as calculated by the electronic scoring system.

 

[Coronach]

8.8 rounds to 9.

Having 2 .45s really pulls down your average.
