MTM Limited Edition 50 Caliber Zombie Ammo Can - Durable Black Polymer Storage Box

The MTM Limited Edition 50 Caliber Zombie Ammo Can is a lightweight polymer storage box built for shooters who want serious protection without the weight penalty of military surplus steel. If you haul ammo to the range, store bulk rounds at home, or need reliable gear transport, this all-plastic design delivers the durability of traditional ammo cans in a package that's roughly one-third the weight. MTM engineered these cans from rugged polypropylene to handle rough treatment—from truck beds to range bags—while keeping your ammunition dry and organized.

The standout feature is MTM's tongue-and-groove O-Ring seal system, which creates a water-resistant barrier without the corrosion and maintenance headaches of metal cans. Dual latches lock tight and prevent accidental pops, while molded padlock tabs let you secure the can if needed. The stacking ridges make it easy to organize multiple cans in a safe or locker. With the capacity to hold up to 25 pounds of ammo or gear, this 50-caliber can matches the storage volume of classic military surplus cans but saves you significant weight in your kit.

Built in Dayton, Ohio, the MTM ammo can works equally well for bulk storage, specialty ammunition like Hornady Zombie Max, or mixed range gear. The black polymer construction won't rust, dent, or require maintenance—just pack it, seal it, and go. For shooters tired of hauling heavy steel or dealing with rust-prone surplus cans, this is a no-nonsense upgrade.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much lighter is this polymer can compared to a metal 50-caliber ammo can?

The MTM polymer can weighs 1.76 pounds empty, making it approximately 70% lighter than a traditional military surplus 50-caliber metal can, which weighs around 5.30 pounds. That weight savings adds up over time, especially if you transport ammo regularly or run multiple cans in your safe.

Is the seal really water-resistant, or do I still need to worry about moisture?

The tongue-and-groove O-Ring seal system is designed to provide water-resistant protection. Combined with the dual-latch design, it creates a reliable barrier against moisture—ideal for truck storage, range bags, or humid environments. It's not fully submersible, but it handles typical range and storage conditions without drying out your ammo.

Can I use this can to store and transport specialty ammunition?

Yes. The 50-caliber capacity is suitable for bulk ammunition and specialty loads alike. Many shooters use it for rounds like Hornady Zombie Max or other high-volume training ammo, as well as mixed range gear.

Will this can stack securely with others?

Yes. The molded-in stacking ridges are designed to keep cans organized and stable when stacked, making it practical for shooters who maintain multiple cans in a safe, closet, or vehicle.
