Description
This is the standard combat load of ammunition that we recieve before doing any kind of operations...180 rounds of 5.56 ammo, and 5 rounds of 5.56 tracer rounds. The tracers are put 2 rounds from the end in 1 magazine (4 mags total) so we know when we are about to run out of ammo in that magazine. The little thing in the middle of the magazines is a speed loader, it enables me to load the rounds that are on the little strips strip-by-strip instead of round by round.Related content

I typically carry 6 thirty round standard capacity mags in my mag pouch on my plate carrier and set of double thirty mags joined together with a mag link in my AR. And I know what you mean by this shit being heavy.

i guess thats the combat load you carry.
I've never seen combat, but on exercises, we carried 3 mags with our C7's (the M16, but we give it a different name) of course, they were blank rounds, but they recoil was the same.
what else did you carry in your pack?

Yeah, but those tracers are placed 2 from the bottom in the magazine so that when I see the tracer, I know exactly when I will have to reload to lessen the time I'm not firing. That and it's only one per magazine.

I'm in the Marines (go figure) check out my latest journal, and you can get a feel for what it's like over here in Iraq.
