I own and shoot guns and trust me, the weight adds up so fast. Ammo is really heavy. At the rate they're going through it, they would have had to lug many creates of military surplus ammo onto the Destiny to be in comfortable supply.
And don't even get me started on the infinite magazine. Stargate is among the most guilty of TV shows to abuse magazine capacity to the point that it's just funny. They don't use FNP90s in SGU like in SG-1 and SGA. All the military assault rifles in the show are M4 carbines + a few HKs. They're all select fire and have magazines that hold 30 rounds of 5.56x45mm NATO (or .223). They're usually firing in full-auto instead of semi-auto, which in real life would burn through those 30rnds in just a few seconds. But on tv they just lay down endless spray fire and every once in a while we'll see a magazine reload (if the director deems it relevant to show). SGU is still better about it than SG-1 and SGA.
But yeah, it's as if they have more guns and ammo than they do people. Sign me up!!
