question about RL experience w M203/GP25

[arthur666 10]

So, how many grenades for those launchers do actual grenadiers usually carry in combat?

I carried 22 HE and 2 Smoke in Afghanistan. Didn't really carry starlight/flare because the 81 mm illum worked better.

Just depends really on your individual situation, there were times that I carried 1000 rounds of 5.56 and other times only 200, the same goes for any weapon system.

Can't say for myself, but I am sure practise make perfect.

Cool. I set up a mission were i wanted more than 8, but didn't want to get too unrealistic.

You can add magazines beyond the "gear" screen capacity, you just can't see them, and if you try to stop and pick up extra equipment, you drop all but your shown capacity.

There is a mod that allows you to carry more, can't think of the name atm though.

Depends on the sights you use but in my experience, after a dozen rounds to familiarize it is easy and you can be very accurate with them. I could put one through a 2x2ft window at 250m.

this addmagazine "1rnd_HE_M203";

add to your init field, once for each extra round you want (copy/paste).

Why not get your squad mates to carry some for you? Should also be fairly easy to script a solution for grenadiers so that he can drop limited amounts of additional grenades that he can pick up and use. Over adding is a really bad solution.

I would argue against your use of "a really bad solution" and suggest "not the best solution." :D

Over-adding works fine for me, at least. I use it on lots of missions. I do like the idea of squadmates carrying extra ammo, esp. for MG'er or missle-system specialist.
