When he started feeding from his Camelbak, he had used up many of the bags on his fighting load already by praying and spraying. I would see this a lot when an M60, SAW, or 240 gunner that was tired from carrying all the weight finally got a chance to return fire.
And in contrast to the troops in this video, when he was a rifleman he always took a copious amount of grenades on patrol, usually stuffing his trousers cargo pockets with as many frags as they would hold. It made walking a bit of a chore, but he loved using grenades in a fight.
