Since I have never been in the military or deployed oversees I had a question about what was brought with you. Anytime I watch History or Discovery and they are showing some shootout between some small group of marines or something being ambushed by BG's they say how the battle lasted for hours with out any support. Now, when I go to the range, I can shoot through hundreds of rounds in not a lot of time at all. How much ammo does the average soldier carry on a patrol or something like that? When you are out numbered 4 or 5 to one it seems like you could shoot through quite a few magazines and I imagine that you can only carry so much. Even at 6 rounds a minute thats 720 rounds in two hours. How do eleven or twelve men defend a position for hours upon hours with only what they carry against 50 or more assailants?
