Fun skirmish shoot 'em up...no ammo limits FR sort of thing...5-6mid caps or 8-10 real caps. I find that usually lasts 2 sets. I'll reload (usually just topping up) them once, maybe twice for a full day.

Milsim (depends on the game parameters/limits)
DA - 4-6 real caps
Patrol - 10 real caps (different rig)
Extended patrol - 10 real caps + backpack with 4-8 more real caps.

If reloading in the field is permitted...then a couple of guys will have loaders and BBs.

A lot of games that I go to have 300 round limits...so that's what you take. That limit is usually per sortie, but it may be for the whole day...so you adjust accordingly.

8+1 lowcaps (AR)

If I carry a pistol, it's 2+1.

I load my mags to real loads +3 to accomodate the hopup space lost.

I tend to carry as much as I can no matter what, its like a comfort blanket. I use 120 round m16 short mags, they are half the size of normal mags and plastic, so they are really light, and look much better on my aeg than normal mags do.

two easy to grab mags, three flap secured mags, and two mags taped together in the gun(it doesn't stick out, and its great if I just want to do a light load and take my vest or belt off.)

one mag in my mk43, one extra, and depending on my load I can either have it holstered and carry the silencer in a seperate pouch, if I am carrying two sidearms I have it set up so I am able to have it holstered with silencer on. Lower velocity, size and low sound makes it great for sneaky kills or close range kills.

I carry my deuce mini shotty with two spare shells, 24 rounds spread in a decent pattern is very useful, room clearing or those times when you can only get a single shot off, small and light so its easy to just poke around a corner, but not quite as impressive as a gun mounted launcher.

If I'm really paranoid about running out I always have a 1000 round electric autowinding hicap XD. Tracers+1000rounds of autofire+mini shotty, keeps heads WAY DOWN...although I have never used more than 4 main mags and 1 pistol mag in a single game/life.

hey takagari, how do you rig up all those mags to fit your gear?

If I run with my p90 I have 4 on my leg and 1 in the gun, 1 or 2 stuffed into the inside of the vest stargate style. lows (68 rounds) or mids (150-180 rounds).

If I run my m14, I have capacity to carry up to 8+1 (x68 rnds)mags, I have all g&g low caps.

And always 3 +1 (x 25 rnds)pistol.

Just got into airsoft, dont have all my gear yet currently im running
4x 80rnd mid caps in my M4
1x pistol mag (24+1)

That setup will be changing to;
4x 120rnd mid caps
2x pistol mag

I'm maybe also planning on getting a hi-cap as a backup

Cheers

Pretty much it for me too. Real load + hopup loss for me too. Almost nothing beats having to reload under fire.

For CQB or skimishes, I'll carry the same but will add all my GBB mags (4+1) All GBB mags loaded to real capacity.

7 x G36 50-rnd mags
5 x G36 100-rnd mags
All loaded to real cap

2 x MP5 200-rnd high caps (looking to replace with mid caps)
Loaded to max

7 x 30-rnd shotguns shells
Loaded to max

1 x 100-rnd speed loader
Loaded to max

If I'm feeling special I'll add a 2500-rnd C-mag for my G36

I don't tend to fire much, unless I'm using the C-mag. I've never used more than a couple mags before being able to reload (back to HQ, safe zone, etc.). I'd drop the other mags, but the weight stops my vest moving as much when I run (hooray for being a twig!).

I dump the high caps during milsim events.
