Sepulcrum, how do you carry so many?

Molle rig with 4 double pouches, molle blast belt with 3 single pouches and a drop leg 2 panel single pouch holder... like to have variety to where I pull mags out from aswell. and extras get tossed in my C9 box pouch.

damn 27 mags they must only hold 30 rounds each

I use only realcaps, and I carry twelve mags dual-clamped when fielding my mp5k, thirteen mags for my m4 and seven when fielding my ak (due to the size of the mags). Most skirmishes I usually only go through three or four mags, but occasionally I'll go through more, usually during base assault/defense type games.

I seem to remember there's already a thread with pages and pages of posts for this question, but I'm too lazy to look it up. I remember that it was very variable. Some guys only carry four or five realcaps, most are usually eight to ten lowcaps or a half dozen midcaps. But I remember one guy posted he carried something like fifteen hicaps. Crazy.

I carry 4 70rd TM M14 mags in my vest and 1 70rd mag in my gun, so I have a total of 5 70rd mags for my primary, For my pistol I carry 2 20rd KJW mags for my glock, 1 in the gun and 1 on my dropleg holster. I plan on getting a 1 or 2 more for it. In total I carry 7 mags for indoor. I haven't started playing outdoor but the number won't change

EDIT: Yeah I made a thread asking about this same topic....http://www.airsoftcanada.com/showthread.php?t=69439

your vest only holds 4 mags??? are you sure they arent really tight/unworked in doubles?

(this is all Duckmans fault!) why change mags when you can just pack more pistols and grab a different one when you run dry?


all mags are metal!

dont blame me man. i'm just making use of awkward pockets



personally i carry upwards of 12 plus one in. they're all metal 68 round lows. i've considered running real caps but alot of the rof in airsoft is actually higher than that of rs so i balance it out with the 68's. i find it last just long enough on a full auto suppressoin run that i dont feel like rambo and it helps fight the temptation to hose forever. at least it used to when i first started.

choose whatever and however many you feel comfortable carrying and to what suits the style that you want to play. realcap empties really really fast but if you're only going to run semiauto only than you can truely appreciate the sim nature of reloading. you cant go wrong with the mids since you can always short load them to whatever you need for that particular game and fill'em right up if you want more ammo.

but ultimately carry what you feel to be the balance between firepower, weight and mobility. the more you carry the heavier you are and you might still wanna fit through a doorway or between small trees.

What should you do if you have a P90? I havent seen a mid cap for it before

[HeadlessChicken]

I only know of 68 and 300 round capacity mags for P90s. You can also grab 1 of those conversion kits that allow you to use M4/M16 mags but I don't know how well they work. My drop leg mag holster only holds 2 mags and thats all I have if I ever use for games.

[Gerkraz]

Mid caps...and a playboy in my pack in case I get bored

[13Fido13]

27!?!?!?! I thought I was crazy with 12. Although lately it's only been about 5 or 6 mids. Usually lasts for a day, maybe half depending on the fire fights.

sorry my vest holds 6 m4 mags and 3 pistol mags as far as i can tell.

[caker_chris]

ok so i got 5 120 midcap mags coming to me. Which should be good i think plus i will carry my 450 hicap just incase i run out.

thanks for all your responses

you're a bit limited for that one. though some mag pouch lids can be adjusted that you can fit them but you'll only get one per. example is the blackhawk omega line up. normally you can get 2 armalite mags in those but you can reposition the lid to take a single p90 mag and just barely close.

there is some stuff ...someone posted a link a while ago somewhere, that makes vest with mag pouches specifically for the p90.

and there's always the option of having something custom made.
