When it comes to owning and operating an AR-15, there are many factors to consider, such as the type of ammo you use and the accessories you choose. But perhaps one of the most critical aspects of your rifle is the magazine that you use. After all, the magazine is responsible for feeding your firearm with the ammunition it needs to function, and without a reliable magazine, your shooting experience can quickly become frustrating and unproductive.

So, what are the different types of magazines available for the AR-15, and how do they differ from one another? In this article, we’ll take a closer look at the various types of magazines and ammo that are commonly used with the AR-15, and explain why Phantom Tactical USA is the go-to source for high capacity magazines that will take your shooting game to the next level.

Types of Magazines for the AR-15

There are several different types of magazines available for the AR-15, each with its own unique set of features and benefits.:

  1. Standard Magazines: Standard magazines are the most common type of AR-15 magazine and are typically designed to hold 30 rounds of ammunition.  Standard magazines are commonly available in stamped steel construction, stamped aluminum construction, and polymer construction.  Some are even available with capacities of only 20 rounds or less, typically for places or uses where laws prohibit higher capacity.
  2. Extended Capacity Magazines: Extended capacity magazines are designed to hold more than 30 rounds of ammunition. Popular among competitive shooters, law enforcement, and military personnel who need to be able to fire multiple rounds quickly and efficiently, they also make for a fun range day!  Extended capacity magazines can hold anywhere from 40 to 100 rounds of ammunition, depending on the size and design.  Phantom Tactical USA magazines hold 50 rounds!
  3. Drum Magazines: Drum magazines are one type of extended capacity magazine.They are round like a drum and can hold up to 100 rounds of ammunition. However, drum magazines can be heavy and bulky, and more complicated to load than other types of magazines.  They are also considerably more expensive.
  4. Magazine Couplers: Magazine couplers are accessories that allow you to attach two or more magazines together, effectively doubling or tripling your ammunition capacity.  Of course, with a coupler you still have to release the empty mag, reposition the coupled magazines, and insert the next full mag.

Types of Ammo for the AR-15

When it comes to selecting the right ammo for your AR-15, there are several factors to consider, including bullet weight, caliber, and velocity. Here are some of the most popular types of ammo used with the AR-15:

  1. .223 Remington: The .223 Remington is a lightweight, high-velocity round that is ideal for target shooting, hunting, and self-defense.
  2. 5.56 NATO: The 5.56 NATO is similar to the .223 Remington but has a higher chamber pressure. This makes it more  accurate over long distances, making it a popular choice for competitive shooters and military personnel.
  3. .300 AAC Blackout: The .300 AAC Blackout is a relatively new cartridge that is designed to be compatible with the AR-15 platform. It’s typically a subsonic round with heavier bullet weight that can be used with a suppressor for much quieter shooting sessions, and can be used for everything from target shooting to hunting and self-defense.
