A basic ammo load out for a grunt climbing out of the back of a Bradley
is
nine 30 round magazines of ammo for his M 16 - one in the weapon, two
each in
four offsetting ammo pouches on his ALICE gear. In the M 16 there is a
three
round autoburst. This means ninety trigger pulls and you are DRY!
There's
more ammo in the track, but where is the track? Soldiers do NOT fight
with
unlimited amounts of ammo. Firefights are usually brief - but not
ALWAYS.
Something to think about
