Quote:They needed something with 7.62 performance, but lighter weight than the SAW in that scenario.Explain, please. It looks to me like in this particular scenario he'd have been worse off with a 6.5 LMG. By my count, he fired 712 rounds - 3x200rd belts, 1x100rd belt, and 12rds of the 2nd 100rd belt - then refrained from further shooting (presumably to keep his last 288 rds in reserve).
That makes a total of 1000 rounds he had. For the same volume and packing, he would have had only 750 rounds of 6.5 Grendel. Which means he could've shot only 462 rounds - 3x150rd belts, plus 12rds of a 75rd belt - before reaching his reserve level, a considerable reduction in suppressive fire capability.

Presumably he had used all the ones in his web gear already.The first two reloads were 200rd soft packs from his pouches. It did appear as if his remaining supply was 100rd "nut sacks" in the bag that was thrown to him.
pinzgauer Wrote:Also, I counted at least three mag tosses in the second part of the video, which pmag fans in a previous forum thread indicate no longer happens.Yeah, I found that enlightening. While not one of the P-Mag fans you note, I think I was one who questioned if such mag tossing actually occurs. :o
