Oh and its the L8 when mounted on a vehicle, an L19a1 with a heavier barrel, the L20a1 and a2 when firing from remote control in a gun pod. THe L37a1 and a2 that were an L8 but designed so they could be removed of the vehicle and used by hand, the L43 on the Scorpion and the L44 in the Navy. Basically all the same weapon, but we British like having way too many L designations.
You are asking about on hand mags - no less than 12. If your are talking a bug out situation keep 4 mags in pouches plus one in the rifle and 60- 80 more rounds in stripper clips.
