GoPro video from an Anti-Junta fighter conducting guerilla warfare operations somewhere in Myanmar shows a fighter reloading his only magazine from a bandolier of ammunition around his chest while he's in the middle of a gunfight.

Apparently this is an unpopular opinion. Magazine retention is an important skillset to learn while you're training. It's especially important if you're a guerilla fighter with little to no chance of receiving resupplies.

Does it take a few extra seconds that could kill you in a nose-to-nose gunfight inside of a house? Probably. Are you always going to be in a nose-to-nose gunfight inside of a house? Unlikely. Learn to not toss your magazines as soon as they go dry. It's a skillset you might thank yourself for later down the road.
