Standard combat load for a U.S. Army Rifleman is 210 rounds or 7 30 round magazines, so thats actually normal.

Despite what the "zombie survival guide" says I'd still obtain a select fire weapon.

Fully automatic is useful for things other than suppressive fire according to a U.S. Army Manual from the 1980s

* Adjusting fire with tracers
* Close range reflexive firing
* Multiple targets in close proximity (to e/o)
* Some method that involved guiding your weapon as if you were using a "garden hose"


Not to mention that you likely will come up against human adversaries in a post apocalyptic world anyways
