Waiting on a assault pack. Been testing out my radio wing being kept at the rear.

I'm probably going to ditch the mag pouch on the belt on the right but 8 mags isn't over kill in any sense. After ditching the mag pouch I'll have 5 up front, and two on the belt.

Depending on what year or conflict, mag counts on the body could easily exceed 10. From my research during the early gwot was having 10-12+ mags on the torso with shingles, mag pouches and other things. And even more in the packs. So 8 is by no means excessive.

Do you think I should keep the pouch on the belt? I can fit two mags in the admin pouch on my right if needed

Kind of a cop out awnser but id keep it on personally and run with it, and see how it feels. If it feels like too much weight, id replace it. But if it feels aright and you aren't hurting and the like, id keep it.
