I stand corrected: just spotted grenades on the 1944 and 1982 pages.
We tended to carry 4 grenades each in Vietnam and if we could get them, a 2-pound block of C-4 (for bunkers), a couple of LAWS 66mm rockets and at least 7 loaded magazines plus one bandoleer of ammo in clips. Running out of ammo usually only happens once in combat.
that is quite a load! Good one, but how was the weight?
“Running out of ammo usually only happens once in combat.”
I recall back during the height of Afghanistan how some guy (Freeper?) said every spot in their vehicle had spare magazines. I think they even cut out some interior panels or other modifications so they could stash a few more.
We, Army, stuffed them in Claymore bags. How much you humped seem to depend on were you where and the type of Unit you were assigned to.
