What is the maximum weight capacity of the MTM Zombie Ammo Can, and what happens if I overload it?

The manufacturer rates the AC50Z for a maximum load capacity of 25 lbs to 30 lbs, which is ideal for transporting bulk ammunition without straining the hinges or handle. If you exceed this 30 lbs threshold with heavy lead loads, the molded polypropylene body and single carry handle may experience excessive stress during outback transport. For loads heavier than 30 lbs, a traditional steel military surplus can is recommended.

Is the O-ring seal waterproof enough for complete submersion during river crossings in the bush?

No, the tongue-and-groove rubber O-ring seal is designed to provide splash, rain, and dust resistance to protect your gear from the elements. It is not rated for complete water submersion or diving applications, so you should avoid fully submerging the container in water. If you need submersible IP67 or IP68 protection, you would need to look at heavy-duty pressure-equalized hard cases instead.

Does this ammo can comply with Australian state firearm storage and transport regulations for ammunition?

In Australia, state and territory laws generally require ammunition to be stored in a locked container separately from firearms. The Mtm Zombie Ammo Can features dual integrated padlock tabs on its heavy-duty mechanical latches, allowing you to secure the container effectively for transport and storage to meet regulatory guidelines.

How many rounds of ammunition can the interior of the AC50Z actually hold?

The interior dimensions measure 11.0" L × 5.8" W × 7.2" H, mirroring the volume of a standard US military .50-caliber ammo can. Depending on the casing and packaging, this provides enough internal space to store up to approximately 1,500 rounds of .308 Winchester or equivalent bulk boxed and loose ammunition for your range trips.

Zombie Ammo Can - MTM AC50Z

The Mtm Zombie Ammo Can (AC50Z) is a high-impact polypropylene storage container manufactured in Dayton, Ohio, USA. Designed to the volume envelope of standard .50-caliber ammunition cans, it protects bulk ammunition, range supplies, and tactical gear from moisture and dust using a tongue-and-groove rubber O-ring seal system. It features a dark swirl body accented with high-visibility Zombie Green latches and a fold-down carry handle, combined with dual mechanical latches and integrated double padlock tabs for secure transit.

Who is the Mtm Zombie Ammo Can for?

Recreational Shooters — Requires 11.0" L × 5.8" W × 7.2" H of interior usable space to transport loose or boxed ammunition up to a 30 lbs maximum load limit to the shooting range inside a lightweight 1.76 lbs polypropylene tactical ammo can.
Preppers and Survivalists — Requires a dust- and water-resistant O-ring sealed polymer container with a 25 lbs to 30 lbs load capacity threshold to organise and protect emergency preparedness kits and survival equipment across a 13.5" L × 7.4" W × 8.5" H exterior footprint.

Less suitable for: Applications carrying total load weights exceeding 30 lbs (where heavy-duty steel military surplus ammo cans are better suited) or full water submersion requiring IP67 or IP68 waterproof ratings (where pressure-equalised submersible hard cases are required).
