EDcase Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 Didn't find any info about this... (someone will add links I'm sure) For players using GBBR's only, how many magazines do you carry for playing an average 30-40 minute game? (not sniping) Of course I know that you can't auto like an AEG with Hi-caps but thinking of 30rd mags in a relatively short game how many do you use minimum and what would be your ideal number considering cost/weight?

Uncle Pauly Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 I think this question is less about GBBR/AEGs and more about individual play styles. I could quite feasibly get through a 30-40 minute game with just one or two 30 round mags. I play very 'conservatively' - semi auto; very choosy about my shots; very rarely suppress, etc. That applies whether I'm using a GBBR or AEG. Ultimately, just ask yourself: how many mags/BBs do you tend to get through playing a 30-40 minute game with an AEG? Because it'll be pretty much the same if you switch to GBBR.

EDcase Posted January 9, 2020 Author Share Posted January 9, 2020 Yeah, I'm not a massive sprayer with an AEG and tend to stick to single shots but I do like to keep enemy heads down as I move from cover to cover. It is a very personal thing. I just wanted to get an idea of how many people have on average. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilMonkee Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 I run 7 in my MWS and 6 in my GHK AKM but want to get 1 more. I am loath to get any more as you quite quickly get into the realms of your mags being worth more than the gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comicbook hero Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 I run with 7 for both my GHK Mk18 and VFC 416a5. Never really run short in game. CBH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EDcase Posted January 10, 2020 Author Share Posted January 10, 2020 Cool, so 7 seems to be the number of the beasts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tommycupra Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 Depends on the mag size and the site to be honest, if they'e CQB based games on a small site with the safe zone near by then I'll carry around 4 to 6. If it's a bigger site outdoors then I'll carry less, That's purley down to comfort vs practicality as they tend to be much heavier (and costly if you lose one) over a AEG mag. which I tend to feel much more over longer games as dependent on the mags theu can easily add a couple of kilos to your loadout. I find if you're concervitive with ammo and take decent shots then 5 should last you easily. If you have more then you can leave a few in the safe zone and just dump the empty ones and collect full ones when loading up between games and it saves time. Then do a complete reload at lunch.

Cyberlawyer Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 Last Sunday I was running 9 mags for my MWS mk18 build. This easily lasted a 40 min game with mags to spare (so I guess 7 would be the sweet spot, but I like having a cushion), but they ran 2 longer multi-objective games where I ran out (I don’t carry a speed loader as I hate to rattle). Next time I’ll take 13 mags so I have the option for the the long games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EDcase Posted January 19, 2020 Author Share Posted January 19, 2020 Wow, 13 mags !!! That's gona be expensive 😣 I'm struggling to justify 4 😏 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyberlawyer Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 If you do the green gas modification to the MWS mags you can easily get 2-3 mags out of a fill of gas so with a speed loader 4 mags would probably be fine as it works out as between 8 - 12 mags worth of ammo, so right on the money in terms of number of shots I don’t carry a speed loader to reload mags in game as I hate the rattling so once I am out of ammo for my MWS, I’m down to my pistol with three mags. Upside is my pistol actually gets used rather than being a belt ornament. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
