Original Note:
Magazine "spring fatigue" is not caused by static compression, but by repeated fatigue cycles like loading and unloading the magazine. A magazine left loaded for a year will not perform any differently than if it were loaded 5 minutes ago. https://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2018/12/14/storing-magazines-and-the-effect-on-the-magazine-springs-20-years-later/ https://www.guntweaks.com/spring-fatigue-during-storage.html https://modernsurvivalblog.com/security/spring-fatigue-or-deformation-from-a-fully-loaded-magazine/ https://www.luckygunner.com/lounge/magazine-springs-and-ammo-cycling/
