I carry 7 - 9 on me and the other 3-5 in my 3rd line, back at HQ, so when I am there and I need to swap out mags, I can just replace empty mags with fresh ones and then off I go. I am seriously considering doing a slick carrier with a rig over it, or just running a carrier with molle on it. Not sure yet which, but I lke a lot of weight on me, personally it doesn't start to slow me down until it goes over the 50 lb total mark. Now if I was going to a game like Rhino or pine plains, then yes I would carry a full battle load - 10 - 12 - as those games are more balls to the wall for 24 hrs, again this all comes down to play style, scenario and problems that arise. Like I said towards where Fox plays you have no choice but to empty mag after mag in order to move your guys around, because no one knows how to use a support weapon properly. A support weapon is there so your guys can move around, its why the support gunners carry quite a heavy ammo load, so they can sustain large volumes of fire, pin down the enemy and move your guys up so you can attack that enemy and increase the chance of survival of your squad, but consequnetly, people (those who are with a support gunner) have no idea how to use a support gunner.

I remember back at a training sim run before OP warewolf last year, where our 60 gunner was hit, he left his 60 and walked back to respawn, I took his gun (he told us ealier that we were allowed to do this) and layed on the trigger towards the area where large amounts of fire were coming from, effectly stopping the fire from that area, and giving us some breathing room by pinning down the enemy. Here's the funny bit, the guys on my team never even moved up, I kept yelling out "position suppressed, move up," only to look behind me and everyone was still hunkering behind a tree not knowing what to do, I finally had to walk the 60 forward to show them what to do, after wasting over a 1000 rounds trying to tell the guys in my squad what to do (this was also brought up in the AAR following that sim).
