What are the GALIL magazine capacities by caliber?

• A. 35 or 50 round magazines (5.56mm) / 25 round magazines (7.62x51mm)
• B. 20 round magazines
• C. 60 round drums
• D. 15 round magazines

Answer: (A)

Magazines for the Galil are determined by the cartridge it’s chambered for, and the design allows different capacities within each caliber. For the 5.56x45 variant, the rifle typically uses 35-round magazines, and there are extended options around 50 rounds available in some configurations (often as drum or extended box styles). For the 7.62x51mm variant, the standard magazine is 25 rounds due to the longer cartridge limiting how many rounds can be reliably fed in the same mag geometry. So the capacities you’ll see are 35 or 50 rounds for 5.56mm and 25 rounds for 7.62x51mm. Other capacities like 60 rounds, 20 rounds, or 15 rounds don’t align with the Galil’s standard magazine designs by caliber.
