To let the soldier function effectively in combat, the ammunition load must be logical and sustainable. Therefore, while a soldier can bring as much ammo as he/she wanted, inventory planning is essential. Besides ammo, a soldier has to carry much gear, body armor, helmet, communication equipment, food, drinks, etc. However, in the field, individual preferences should determine the final number.Ī soldier can always store extra magazines or stripper clips in the backpack, which considerably increases the number of rounds available.
