That seems to be the best bet with any of the hellcat setups. The 6 internals and 4 on the outside I like to add a redimag or magcinch so that I have an even 12 at the ready. Another 6 normal mags on the ruck and 2 mags of all tracer. But hey I dont have to hump it much, the Helo does the humping for me.

Yes 10 mags...however, in a pinch the EGL PLP (and even the mini-rolly poly) will fit at least a couple mags from what I can tell. Plus the beauty of the modular system is that pouches can be mixed and matched based on the mission. More ammo, replace a gp pouch for another ammo pouch. The possibilities are endless .

Now, when you're bending over the side to get your tray of food from the loader, do you have to compensate for the extra weight on the front?
lol

All kidding aside, that's a great rig you've got there. I'm leaning towards a MAV myself.
For uh... range use. And the odd end of the world scenario.

Good question. I think if I arrange the pockets just right it should work. Because the majority of the mag pockets are internal the rig is pretty "low profile"......even if it doesn't work that's ok because I'm not doing much tanking myself anymore so I mainly set it up for hummer mounted/dismounted activity.
I'll be T&Eing ove the next few months and will update

It is your decision, but I disagree with you on wearing it in a vehicle.
In an armored vehicle, you take a hit, roll into a body of water or have an on board fire and try to unass the vehicle blind, disoriented, on fire, or seriously injured, that stuff is going to trap you and may cause someone else to be stuck trying to get you out. I wouldn't wear anything I couldn't easily exit with, and put the rest in a bustle rack. The tank or Brad is the weapon, you need to be configured to fight that, not as an infantryman.
In a Hummer, you need to be able to operate the crew served weapons, if any, and get in and out quickly.
Dismounted, you need to be able to fight and render first aid with what you have on, so you may be okay for that mission.
Just my .02.

Damn, well-spoken for a 'light' guy. Seriously, I'd put any dismounted gear in the bustle rack (maybe even your rifle, snap-linked to the rack and loosley wrapped up), like TR suggested, and grab it on the way out the turret. Of course, tankers have the luxury of spacious living in their turrets, unlike their cramped, sardine-like Bradley bretheren (especially when you're 6'2" and 195lbs).

Hey, you can sleep on the floor of the Brad turret if you're tired enough.
