Ammunition Transportation

Postby Wolf_Raven » Tue Jan 14, 2014 2:38 pm

I was hoping to start some discussion about how people prefer to transport ammo for long games. My goal is to 100% neutralize rattle. no f'n tactical maracas. I've seen people use those M&M tubes with the exact amount that they needed for a speed loader or 2. Any other cool idea?
Current Plan: 6x Midcaps, 3x speed loaders, 3 backup tubes packed tight.

Tubes or something filled to as high as you can and pack some extra tissue/cloth in.

I was thinking about using some pvc with caps and some foam.

The other thing you could do is the effortless zip-lock bag/original packaging ordeal and just roll that up..

That's how I do it. Just roll the original bag down tight and wedge it into the bottom of my dump pouch.

Individually wrap each BB in 1/4 foam. Artfully arrange them in a old cigar box that is lined with fur, preferably mink. Put said cigar box in a lead lined backpack with additional R15 sound insulation installed on the inside. Guaranteed to be 100% sound proof and the load out will still be around 50 pounds for the dozen BB's that you will be carrying. Hope that helps. ;)

You did say that you wanted it to be 100% rattle proof. :lol:

You could do presized baggies, load with BB's then vacuum all the air out of them. I think Glad is getting into those baggies now. Do lots of small bags. They are also reusable.

I think the only issue with baggies is that they are a pain in the a$$ to pour into a speed loader.

If it's a small skirmish/game, I generally don't carry loose ammo on me. I leave a bag back at the respawn to load up with during down time.

For larger games I carry my KWA speed loader and a BB bag I made myself. I got tired of the normal BB bags busting open on me. The bag I carry with me is larger than the one pictured. I made this one for a teammate.

That is because you aren't doing it like a man, just bite off the bottom corner of your little baby zip lock bag, and when you are all done filling your mags/ speed loader, you throw the bag with any remaining bbs over your shoulder, like a boss. 8)


And then you turn around and pick it back up, because you are cool, not a scumbag litterbug. ;)

I carry 8 on my PC, 1 in my MAP, and one in the gun.
Rattle shouldn't be an issue unless you can't take out your target effectively before he hears you. 8)
Otherwise, I do the baggie hack.
