Obviously there's no limits. Not very mil-sim-y.

Unless that's for skirmishes.

8 mids (110) plus a OH SHI- panic button in the form of a high cap (300).

Usually more than enough to last me the whole day, but I'm looking at EB's PMAGs and I'm getting an itch to get a slew of 30 rounders.

On my old loadout I used to carry 24 x 68 round mags. 18 in the vest and 5 in a side pouch plus one in the gun. 4 x pistol mags, 3 in a pouch 1 in gun. If I was wearing my special rigged backpack I could carry an additional 12 M4 Mags.

On my current loadout I now carry 7 x 68 round mags. 6 in vest one in gun.
2 x 50 round MP7 mag and 1 x 20 round MP7 Mag

Add the kitchen sink and all the contents of the fridge.

I'm loaded out with ten 30-round realcap mags in my carrier's pouches (five double-mag pouches) and one in my rifle. With that I already feel too bulky, I couldn't imagine a whole other row of mags on top of that.

If it's an ammo limited game...I'll spread the rounds out evenly between the mags that best fit the rig I'm wearing to the game. I'll sometimes load one hold-out mag with a bit more.

I've only got 9 mags for my FAL...but find I only use 6-7 of them regularly.

12 mags for my M4...but 2 are usually accessible to teammates so they can grab one if they run dry.

I run 2-3 mags in CQB...the skirmishes rarely last longer than a mag...maybe two. Drop leg, weak side seems to work well for that.

3-4 pistol mags...2 would probably be enough...but pistols are sooooo much fun.

In short, think about what you're getting into...what type of game and who the other people are...load out accordingly. Then take one extra, just in case.

My heavier loadout allows me to carry 10 mags on me and 1 mag in the rifle. Depending on the gun I'm using I might go much lighter. As for the sidearm I can carry 5 x 1911 mags loaded with real capacity most of the time or 3 x P226 mags for a lighter setup.

Whenever I go out with the M249 I end up carrying one boxmag capped to 400 rounds and 6 x M4 mags in a SAW pouch.

In the end it's all about adapting to the game and players you're gonna playing with. I mean in some cases I'll go with 11 mags loaded as realcaps while for other type of game I'll end up going with 7 mags loaded as lowcaps.

I now carry 10 30rnd star pmags, 3 KA 90rnd (I think) VN mags and sometimes I throw in my hicap as a backup if I plan to stick to auto all day. Usually (like at really big games) I only go through about 300 rnds. I'm very selective with my shots.

I usually have 8+1 30 round mags in my chest rig and if needed will sometimes pack more into a backpack for Milsim. But when your on break or a lull in the action, its always best to rebomb up those that you have used.

13 Armalite mags (all metal lowcaps), 12 in my plate carrier, one in the gun. I can carry 16 armalite mags in my Arktis Sigma vest once I pull out the inserts. If I run with one of my G36's, 10 lowcaps, 8 in the vest, two clipped together in the gun.
