I often carry more than two, but that's because either a. I'm feelin' Rambo-ey/John Woo-ey or b. my guns are crap. Often times, it's both. The most I've carried into one battle was a tri-shot and seven pistols (with no extra magazines), and the heaviest was probably an M60 and a MG36 (one in each hand, of course).

Really, I can only suggest carrying more than two if you're insane. Like me.

CQB:
1911 and 3 magazines

Outdoor:
Primary that shoots low enough to be used at close range. Maybe my 1911 if I care, but I usually take 3-14 extra magazines, depending on the rifle I'm using.

I don't think 4 is remotely efficient, unless you're carrying 7 pistols :)

I generally carry one, sometimes a sidearm thrown in... My effin'2000 is fat enough, but sometimes if I feel adventurous/lazy/angry/useless/useful/all of the above enough I'll strap my P226 to my leg... But that's rare. So to answer the question; one, or occasionally two :|

I carry my primary, I sold my GBB secondary a long time ago and never bothered buying a new one.

People who carry multiple long arms on the field look like morons and they end up getting shot, I have video footage to prove it.

Agree with many folks on here -

Primary Rifle w/ an extra battery - reach out & touch someone

Pistol - for safe CQB situations.

When I did play, primary and a sidearm. Faction Wars that was a good thing, because my EBR went down in the first 15 minutes and I ran the whole day with my 1911. Grid 18, I didn't have a sidearm, so when my MP5 went down in the last hour, I did the long walk back to the parking lot and sat in the car for an hour or so.

I could see having a primary, and a sidearm, and keeping a back-up gun in a bag at the spawn. I wish I had done that at FW, because with my primary DMR down, I was down to a GBB pistol and 2 spare mags. That's a lot of reloading. Having a spare AEG that takes the same mags can keep you in the game for a while longer. But carrying the primary, the sidearm, a full-size backup sidearm, and a precision rifle is just nuts. Leave the bolt in a bag at the spawn. If you need it, go get it.

You can never bring to many guns to a game. You can carry too many guns on you during a game however.

I generally go with 1 primary, 1 side arm. But i bring 4 to 5 extras that sit in the truck. usually those are loaned out to people who find out theirs are broken during chrono times. Or if i get bored and want a change half way through.

I played with all four weapons during memorial weekend(At a family farm), and Yeah I ditching the Bolt. I found out I didn't need it as much as I thought I did. My pistols weight pretty much nothing so I'll keep those. I just might get rid of the one in the vest to make room for more mags. So all together two guns is my limit.

Yeah, You can buy as many guns and bring them with to the game, But you might not be able to carry them on you during the game. A primary and a short range secondary(for CQB scenarios) is probably the best way to ro

Nerf swords or nothing.

Primary nerf sword, then secondary when you get bored with the primary or need to throw it at a tree.

So I only carry a primary, SIG 552, and my KWA m17. I don't see a reason to carry that many pistols but if it doesn't wear you down then that's cool. I was thinking about getting another sidearm.

@Spector-Are you trying to go for a certain look cause i really don't think anyone carries that many weapons.
