Mag dump pouchs, are they REALLY necessary?

I have carried a lot of gear into battle in my years and never once have I truely needed a magazine pouch, so I ask has anyone else truely needed them? I usually go into a game with a MOLLE vest which can carry a LOT of magazines depending on what rifle you have. And I've carried a dump pouch on several occasions and i've honestly forgot it was even there. Maybe you have to train with it enough to memorize thats where your spent magazines go. What is everyone else's thoughts?

I only use one in CQB so instead of taking the time to put the mag back in the pouch its easier. Sometimes ill get the velcro from the pouch stuck on my glove and whatnot so its just easier for me in CQB.

Totally incorrect placement. Musashi, you gotta clean up your act.
Moved.

Personally, I like to carry around a foldable dump pouch in case I decide to put it on. Otherwise, if I'm in the mood to use one, I use a drop-leg. Although right now, I have absolutely nothing loadout-wise. Not a single UTG crossdraw, or even MOLLE pouch.

a dump pouch will speed things up, but if you are short on cash, they aren't nessasary.

I need a dump pouch, because not only is it hard to put a g36 mag back in a pouch, the crappy vest I have has built-in pouches and I need a dump pouch to put away my mags.
