Getting Rid of Partly Empty Mags

[[ZG]BUZZARD]

Buzzard- The point is when you are rearming from a dead comrade's corpse, for example, you want to take the partly emptied mags off of your inventory, and then replace them with fresh new mags.

Variable: My point was, one shouldn't be carrying any non-full mags around (with the possible exception of the clip currently inserted in the weapon one is carrying).

Hehe, don't you read my PMs? Moving.

Hmm...

Count how many magazines, then remove the magazines, then give the unit the same number of same kind of magazines back, then get the weapon loaded with a magazine (possibly requires removing the weapon at the start and giving it back after full mags have been given, or with selectWeapon). Oh yes this won't be realistic because the mag with the one round inside will be filled.

By the way, I think 35 seconds to fill a magazine with 30 rounds is pretty fast action

I disagree. Let's say you have a superior weapon. You just finished attacking a town with 15 bullets in your current magazine. You are on the way to the next objective and want to engage the enemy with a fresh mag, so you won't end up having to reload too soon. What would you do? Fire off your remaining 15 rounds and reload? I would do that if there was anything to rearm from, but this is not always the case.

I have a bad habit of reloading after every single engagement no matter how small. It's a bad habit I formed years ago playing Rogue Spear and have kept the habit even after I graduated to Flashpoint in early 2002.

That said I'm getting much better at actually using up my magazines before reloading now. Still if I'm going into an engagement with less than 3/4ths of a magazine I reload.

Thanks for the answer to variables post Metal Heart. I had the same question to variable a week ago or so during a co op mission. If I recall correctly I was packing ammo for a TOW launcher and only had room for 4 mags for my RK95 rifle. Well I had 6 or 7 mags on me but half of them only had about 5 to 8 shots remaining in them. Basically I wanted to make sure I dropped the empty mags and kept the four fullest mags.

You mean THAT coop mission? Check the text comm channel..



Thanks for your refferences guys.

Yeah that's the one

I guess I didn't have a TOW. I remeber that mission now because I used a glock for the first half and killed a lot of guys. I've never before or since used a pistol as much as I did on that mission. I remember we defeated the mission as well. Was excellent team work.
