Lets say you are part of a larger unit that is moving through a hostile area. Every once in a while a threat appears at random intervals and you have to utilize your rifle.
When you start your journey, you are carrying 7 magazines of 30 rounds. On the first encounter, you utilize 6 rounds leaving you with 24 rounds in the magazine. There will be various encounters over the next 12 hours on patrol which will require an unknown number of rounds.
So when do you reload the rifle with a fresh magazine? How would you handle this in general?
