I was taught to count my own shots so that when I got to 16 or 17, I would pause if possible, get the next mag ready, and then switch. You didn't want to be flat ass empty when you needed to switch out. In like fashion, if you hear an automatic burst, or hear a pause in a semiautomatic burst, you may want to take that opportunity to recon quickly, with a view toward moving to a position with m ore advantage. More mag switches mean more opportunities to move.

But if you're carrying multiple weapons, you may just need to pull a new one out not switch the mag, right?
I have recently run into a vest set-up that would carry and make accessible up to 8 handguns. That's scary shit. The Sandy Hook shooter used two handguns and a rifle. The Pulse nightclub shooter used a rifle and a handgun.
