The worst part is that ammo is only a fraction of your weight. Weapons, water, radios, batteries, armor, PVS14s, PAS13s, tripods (AGs), rations, CW/WW gear, explosives, AT rounds, etc, make up the bulk of our loads. The average guy is carrying 100 pounds. It sucks balls.
The most mags I carried for my carbine was 13. 6 on my vest and a 6 mag bandoleer I'm my assault pack, one on the gun.
The saying that goes around the infantry is "my ammo is for you, your ammo is for me", since we rely so much on our buddies providing cover fire while we're moving.
The last thing I want is for one squad to go dry while my squad is moving forward.

@mrhellotherehowareu1384
Where did you get that? Lol. I never said any of that. In fact, quite the opposite.
I've been in this war from the beginning, and did 6 combat tours as an infantryman in both Iraq and Afghanistan.
Nowadays, I'm no longer in a line platoon, but I'm on my 7th deployment right now.
And yes, I did my time on the line. Everything from SAW Gunner, rifle team leader, Bradley gunner, Squad Leader, WSL, Platoon Sergeant, and now company 1SG.
Did my time like everyone else.
Do you have a problem with GWOT vets?
You seem to like watching gun channels created by them just fine.
I was never SOCOM or anything like that, but I did do my part.
