What's the best sequence of upgrades/accessories for an AR15?

If I may, why do people seem to think you need a mountain of magazines? I see little use for more than 10 or so. Enlighten me.

Well, they are wear items. Use them enough they'll eventually fail.

Realistically, 10 is a decent number, though. Something like 2 to leave loaded for real use and not used for training, 6 used for training, 2 left for spares in case the first two get put in property room time out. If you need more, it might be for long range days or competitions without having to reload on the range.

Are you already forgetting about the AWB from 1994-2004 that affected "high capacity" mags?

1) Quality weapon light- kind of hard to see in the dark without NVG
2) Sling
3) Quality optic

1 and 2 is an absolute, 3 is highly preferable
