5 is a great plenty, since you'll never be able to USE more than 1 30 rder, (in any one fight), by yourself, and live to tell about it, except by pure luck. You just CAN'T reasonably expect to MISS with more than about 3/4of your rds, and still win, except by luck, and if you are up against more than a dozen DETERMINED, auto rifle armed guys, you aint going to make it, except by pure luck. They are going to put so much lead into the air that you can't do crap.
The ONLY realistic tactic is to stick to either thick cover or darkness, and 'hole up" during the day if you aint got such cover. By using such tactics, you are very unlikely to ever need more than 5-6 shots in any one encounter, and only rarely will you survive needing more than 2-3.
You'd BETTER not need more than the silenced .22 unit, more often than 1 time in 10. If you do, only luck is going to save you. You are already screwing up WAY too much,letting the enemy detect YOU, before you are aware of them. If you are aware, you detect them FIRST,and either just avoid them, or ambush them. With a proper ambush, you hit 3-6 of them before they can do jack crap, and you are gone before they can make any sort of organized move against you.
Carrying lots of centerfire ammo just means that you FIGURE on screwing up a lot. Best fix that.
