IF and ONLY IF the magazines were all we had to worry about, then a simple fix could be to make the mag pouches big enough to hold 2 in each (3 in each?). Having said that, there is C9 ammo, 40mm Grenades, HE grenades, etc etc. Can't focus on one thing here (the mags), but what I find ironic is that "5 mags" was "considered" for so long to suffice: even when we were supposed to shoot at human wave assaults by the 1st Guards Tank Division!starlight_cdn said:My father has had lunch with the Defence Minister who is under the impression that 5 mags is more than enough. "There is always more in the boat (evidently referring to the aged AVGP)" Doesn't mean much if all your stay behinds got blown up with the veh :

The plate carrier worked better getting in and out o' vehicles for rapid dismount with all the necessary fighting gear. He is a medic.....the infantry are carry more mags and frags.

Kendrick said:What kind of rig set up would you suggest? Should I keep it at that, go for like CP Gear extra 2x or 3x mag pouches, 40mm rounds pouches? An entirely different chest rig like you people are talking about? I'm kinda feeling lost at sea as far as the kit that's available and what might work good is concerned.
CP gear has a 3 mags x 2 pouchs = 6magsKendrick said:You mean to basically ditch the pouches, and get one of those CP 3x pouch type things? Or have them professionally sown on to replace the original chest pouches? I wouldn't mind going for an entirely different rig, but I have to check what the COs will allow.
