Very nice.
How many mags do you get that way?
FYI, and anyone else whao may have missed it, the Marines recently awarded two Navy Crosses, and two Silver Stars.
Other than heroism and guts, what were the common factors?
Three of the four ran low on or completely out of ammo and had to use enemy weapons.
My infantry rig was loaded with 12 30 round mags, my SF patrolling vest held 16, plus bandoliers in the ruck, plus spare mags in the ruck. Even as a staff slug, I want at least 9.
I might run out of ammo, but it won't be in the first few minutes, and a bunch of them well be down first.
The Reaper's ammo motto?
The only time you can have too much ammo is when you are trying to swim.
Looks neat, Eggroll, is that two different components holding mags?

Very nice.

actually this was the method I showed to Razor, take three TT single shingles, and mate up an Eagle 6 mag pouch and you have your 9 mag staff slug configuration
The shears are mounted to a BHI strike GP UR medium pouch, affexed to the front is a prototype EGL small ute pouch.
Wasatch for >9 mag carry I would recommend.

I didn't say it was MY Back Up Beer Opener.
Not to worry, I'm sure TR will Point that out as well. It's been awhile, So i figure if I just give him an opportunity to give my hell about my age, it will spare me the suprise later.
