Running that much ammo leads to bulk and weight that can be a real hindrance when you start moving around - especially if you're not training for that regularly. Unless of course your METL includes point defense during the zombie apocalypse which would likely lead to a rather sustained firefight, to say the least.
Remember A lot of us are in CA. So 6-10 magazines means 60-100 rds, not 180-300 rds.
