1 - Mil Spec 50 Cal. Ammo Can - New M2A2 - Blackhawk Details

Personally, we say that anyone who owns ammo should also own a mill-spec .50 cal ammo can. This isn’t just the kind of advice you should expect from someone who sells ammo cans. An ammo can really will protect your valuable and potentially life-saving investment from impact, light and humidity.

This .50 cal ammo can by Blackhawk is manufactured according to military specifications. It is welded together out of heavy-gauge steel, and substantial enough to take heaps of abuse before it even thinks about falling apart. A mil-spec ammo can has a tight-closing lid, with a gasket that presses up against the rim to seal out atmospheric moisture.

That gasket was traditionally a problem. When several M2A1 cans are stacked on top of each other, the weight bearing against their lids could damage the gaskets. But the M2A2 ammo can features a steel bracket, which supports excess weight to help keep the gasket supple and effective.

The .50 cal ammo can is popular because the cartridges it is designed to hold are so large. A can that holds 100 rounds of BMG will also hold 640 rounds of 308 Win, 1,200 rounds of 223 Rem, 1,300 rounds of 45 ACP, 1,750 rounds of 40 S&W, or 2,200 rounds of 9mm. (This is all assuming the rounds are loose.)
