First off, a BIG BIG thank you to past and present soldiers (both living and deceased. Now the question: How much ammo does the soldier carry for his M4 or 16 and does he carry any ammo for the SAW and how much?
15 mags for the M4
All day every day and guess what some commands make you count those rounds each and every day. You had better not lose one round or its your ass in the sling all the way up the chain of command. Bullets are called rounds in the military and they are accounted for and considered sensitive items. its your a@@.
U.S.SFC_RET You should try a standard search on THR. This subject has been beaten to death. Standard Load for the 5.56 round is 210 rounds.
after going thru a magazine what did you do with the empty????? Keep it or toss it?
