I know that all magazines are mechanical devices, and therefor subject to wearing out. However, I'm curious about which types of magazines of the following list are more prone to failures of the magazine body (basically, the part we'll be unlikely to be able to replace if we have another AWB) over extended use. Assume that they would not be stored loaded.
AR magazines- I'm aware that these wear out, and have stockpiled accordingly.
AK mags (7.62x39)
AK mags (5.45x39)
FAL mags (7.62 NATO, metric pattern)
M14 mags (7.62 NATO, milspec)
Basically, I'm just seeing what I should stock up on first (I know the real answer is "all of them"). I already have a dozen of each (or more), but it makes sense to lay in a stash of a few more.
