What are you reenacting? It might be helpful to the people on the board to know what kind of soldier you would be acting out. Amount of ammo will vary between the various kinds of soldiers. If I remember right the army also allows soldiers to carry a few other supplies of whatever they would choose such as extra rations, or extra ammo, etc.

We are going to be reenacting as standard US Infantry (not sure which regiment yet). So we will try to look as standard as possible. We do not want to go special forces or anything like that. Hope this helps.
Also we would be going for a *light* load out so no backpacks etc just a *short range patrol* kinda look. |

Sorry, I have little to no infantry training, but the LBE is usually outfitted with two three magazine ammo pouches, and I believe in Vietnam they still used the 30 round magazines (which were never filled completely as it wore out the spring and caused feed and jam problems), so I'd say that puts you at (with say 25 rounds per mag and one mag in the weapon) 175 rounds per soldier.
You'll probably want a second opinion, but that's correct to the best of my knowledge. |
