Default Re: Riflemen have too much ammo

Mustang, No I am not sure. I just find it hard to believe that anyone would train a soldier to fire from the hip when in the same amount of time you can train single aimed shots. You don't actually have to be a good shot. Anyway I think you are hung up on the three round burst. Think of it as sometimes a single shot, sometimes a double-tap and rarely a three round burst. FYI Modern Canadian rifleman Full battle load is 5x30rd mags + 1 bandoleer of 100rds= 250rds. LMGs carry 2or3 200rd belts a piece, more if it's available. If mechanized, there will be at least another full battle load per man kept in the vehicle. I think the game is pretty close to real ammo loadouts.
