My question is how many mag's and pistol ammo do you carry in your web gear? That's if TSHTF you have to grab BOB,the family and run?
I can't help but wonder how many people with the fancy web gear and chest rigs that are all weighted down with a million magazines and rounds have actually worn them for any amount of time... I also wonder, as mentioned before, if other essentials like water and food were put into them as well? I see images of the "Bob Gregory kid" wrapped up in mags and ammo instead of winter coats. Kind of silly...
Also lots of those guys planning on fighting a war all by themself never plan on getting hurt.
How many of them had first aid training and carry enough first aid to treat gun shot wounds? Not many in my opinion.
Have you ever carried this gear along with your water, IFAK etc.? If so, how far and in what conditions?13-17 30 round rifle mags (12 on chest rig, 1 in gun, possible 2-4 on a leg shingle, 1 in the gun), 5-7 14 round pistol mags (4 on my belt, possible 1-3 on leg shingle) on my person. Before you ask, that's 20-30lbs of rifle, and 4-6lbs of pistol ammo and magazines.
