I know the rules say how much weight a runner can carry but how much do you carry. I was thinking about bulk.
Look at a pic of someone in WW2 , a german with an MP40 or A GI with a Thompson and they can carry maybe 4 extra clips, but they make a BIG bulky packet on their belt. Westerns show bullets in loops around the belt. Shot gun shells can similarly be threaded into a belt loop but this are pretty obvious. Personally in RL and if you see Bruce Willis in Die Hard with a hand gun a clip can usually carry 2 more clips on the holster or a belt pouch. That means mabe 30 rounds in RL or 45 on a Predator/Manhunter. Do you load that way or jamb clips in your pcokets or what? |
