Simple enough, when you nerf, how do you carry your ammunition into battle? Do you like having a setup with a load of magazines on your body and maybe a cargo pocket for loose darts/SledgeFire shells like Captain Xavier? Do you like running a Nemesis/Hirricane and shoving hundreds of Rival rounds into your cargo pockets like OutOfDarts? Do you run a thigh/belt rig like LordDraconical or Coop772? Do you run a Hail-Fire and thus a self-contained loadout? Or do you just like to smack people with melee?

 

Personally, I prefer running large amounts of magazines on a chest rig. My main loadout is centered around 10 regular 18's and now, a Regulator, on a chest rig. Alternatively I'll run a basically-modded Stryfe with a Worker AK kit and stock on two Trustfires and two alkalines, but with a MOLLE kit including storage for 8 worker mags, or when I feel absolutely ridiculous, I'll run actual Soviet-issue RPK mag pouches on a belt carrying Worker 22-mags, a LARP Feldspaten (field spade) and operate with a full, 1950's-accurate Soviet uniform just for the laughs.

So you enjoy blaster fires, huh?

I haven't settled on a kit. I've used a messenger bag full of mags, a tool belt full of mags, and just pockets to support a Boomco Rapid Madness (and a TTG) Last game I ran a strayvan with a double-18 and no spares and a couple of single-shot pistols. For the next round I've got something else planned, but have a belt and dump pouch now.

I usually carry five 12 round magazines in a small tourist bag slung over my shoulder, a dump pouch of loose darts, a knife for melee situations, and a fully loaded primary, secondary, tertiary, quaternary, quinary, and senary.  

 

Usually I'll be running a Longshot, Hammershot, Stronarm/Disruptor, Firestrike, Jolt, and singled Triad.  My friends all say I'm a tad competitive...Maybe a little.

 

If I'm running light, I'll use a Stratobow and my Hammershot with a dump pouch.

I haven't had any issues, surprisingly. But good to know~

You're committing two battery sins- using different kinds AND using *fires. They are designed for flashlights and can't handle the draw of our motors.

For indoor wars and HvZ, I use a hopper expanded Nemesis. For outdoor wars I use a triple flip mag on my RS, with a 25rd drum in the pocket of my cycling jersey. Cycling jersey's are perfect for nerf, because they are very lightweight and have 3 elastic pockets on the back that can hold a 25 drum each without issue.

I typically use two 12 rounders and an 18 on a belt rig with a longshot or stryfe, it works well because our rounds are short in Australia, but i do carry a hammer shot with loose darts in a dump pouch just in case. i did have a good idea for either a gravity feeding mag on top of a blaster which you can just put darts in the top, and i also had an idea for a longshot with a hopper, you could use stephans and have a 6 dart capacity with a pretty short hopper, then instead of reloading through a ball valve you could just pull the hopper out and exchange it for another one carried on a belt.

In the pre-N-strike days, there were a bunch of guides on using old deodorant tubes as gravity clips. Some probably still have images if you are on desktop and use the "image archive" button on the top right of a thread.

I mainly play short games where one jungle mag is enough. Recently I made a double mag holder to attach to my belt. I used some Eva foam left over from prop making. The paper is there in case I want to make it a double stack later.

Gallon ziploc bags make great dump pouches btw.

Quite an intriguing solution, I had a cardboard-and-duct tape triple rig I used to use (back when I had only a few and not 20 18rnd magazines), but it ended up getting too squished. Then I found I could afford Blastersmiths UK stuff XD
