I find myself carrying 4+1 mags for both pickup games and longer games alike with just more ammo rather than more mags. Thoughts?
-
I just played Throwdown V with 5+1 +1 buddy mag. I don't reload mags on the field generally, so the amount works quite well for me.
-
For me personally it all depends on the event. If they allow a specific number I carry that many. If they're more open to how many you can carry I try to stash extra loaded mags in my assault pack, GP pouch, or hydro carrier. I try to get the most out of experience and don't like wasting time going back to reload mags. On top of that I carry extra for teammates. But I guess to put a number out there I usually run a standard combat load of 7 mags for my primary, and I usually have 3 or 4 pistol mags. If I run my G19 I have 3 standard mags and 1 50rd extended just in case haha.

I run a gbbr and use 4+1 primary and 2+1 secondary and never run out of rounds during a regular game, but I think it's because I KNOW I'm using a gbbr and have less ammo and firepower so I subconsciously play below my potential. I'm wondering if I had more mags, I'd be more inclined to do more/as much as I do with an AEG.
-
I use 3-6 mags depending on the game and where I'm playing is usually good.
-
I carry six mags, plus one in the rifle. I usually only fire semi-auto and I can pretty much make it with that most of the day.

The whole day? Dang. I can't imagine lasting all day with my gbbr at 38rds a mag haha.

Yeah it's a little easier with 120 round AEG mags
-
Yeah it all depends on what type of game and your role. If I'm running in a recon element or more of a leadership role then I run MAYBE 4 primary mags and 2 secondary. Normally if I'm trying to get all over the field and sling serious plastic and get tons of missions I run my full combat load.

What is your "full combat load' then?
-
7 mags for my M4, and 3 for my pistol. I'm just used to training with those numbers so I run them in airsoft.

I think I ran something similar when I had an AEG. Eventually, I want that for my GHK M4, but ya know... money
-
I feel ya. If I ran a GBB I'd start out with 4 probably. It helps that I have somewhere between 20-30 AEG mags haha. I pick them up when I find good deals. I've got E-Mags, P- MAGS, hex mags, MAG metal mags, and Elite Force mags. And that's just my M4 style mags haha. Don't even get me going on my SR25, AK, SCAR-H, M40A3, and pistol mags haha.
***EDIT*** I just realized I have a problem haha.

Too a degree, yes. But you are prepared at least. I think I'll get a belt before I get more heavy GHK Mags

Normally, I run the standard combat load of 7 primary mags and 3 secondary mags. I’m used to that amount too. I also have a GBBR so I know what it’s like trying to stay low key and be mindful of firing, haha.

In the few games I have attended this year, I've rarely had to carry more than one or two additional mags, depending on the replica I am using (Bizon for example is a bit more hassle to carry a spare than a kalash). Due to the nature of REC games with multiple reload times and that I have usually stuck to semi only over the years and a speed loader or two usually lasts me long enough in those situations.
Of course, that has backfired on me before when I neglect to carry a spare magazine and the current game lasts longer than expected.
If I had to be fully loaded for some reason it would probably be between 5-7 magazines,

For my L86A2 I run 4 Hexmags plus a drum mag. Since the damn thing Is basically a DMR on Roids. I can use very minimal ammo. But for my AK kits I use around 8 mags

It is funny because I'm a skinny guy that runs super heavy guns. I like feeling like the team heavy!

I have A CYMA AK74 with a Romanian grip and a bipod on. And I have a AK74SU for my STALKER bandit loadout

I had one of those Romanians back in the day. I haven't really had a good AEG in a while. I've always preferred the m4 paltform, hence the GHK M4 and not AK. Maybe I should have one as backup since I usually borrow one if it seems more practical.

Unrelated, but do you have the KWA MP7? I've been looking for people to tell me about it. Or maybe you have the VFC Avalon?

Like I said, I don't have any AEGs so that's a no on that VFC. However, I do have a KWA MP7 as a backup to my GHK and love it. Ran it exclusively for years before getting my GHK without problems.

Do you run it in the Pistol-Ish config or do you run it with the stock extended and the grip up? And I found one on this site is it a good deal? (I go on this site because they have a points system) https://modernairsoft.com/collections/gun-finder-smg-mp7/products/gg-umarex-mp7-rapid-deployment-hard-kick-airsoft
