This video from Iraqveteran8888, featuring firearms expert Eric, addresses the common question of how long magazines can be safely left loaded. Eric explains that modern springs are designed for static compression and do not significantly degrade from being fully loaded. He emphasizes that spring wear occurs from cycling, not static load, and highlights the importance of maintenance, such as cycling carry ammunition and cleaning magazines periodically to prevent feeding issues caused by debris. The video also touches on historical reliability issues with firearms like the Beretta M9, attributing some problems to magazine condition rather than the firearm itself.
