[QUOTE="joeycoates, post: 893410, member: 72330"] sbhooper is exactly right, when you are trying to engage an opponent you will quite often put down covering/suppressing fire down in order to get their heads down for movement purposes. And let me tell you, if your buddy is down next to a wall and you have to go and get him, all of the other guys will lay down a WALL of rounds so that you can do so. Or when you get hit with an IED initiated ambush followed by small arms fire then every person available will be laying down suppression fire to get them to stop shooting at YOU. At that point the inability of persons stateside to get reloading supplies is not very important... I am not going to get into it much more as I wanted to write all sorts of stuff that could get into OPSEC issues, but until you have had to react to a completely disorienting position like that then do not condemn to use of a lot of rounds in order to stay alive or keep your buddies alive. Maybe more rounds are used then necessary, but it really depends on what side of "necessary" you are sitting on. [/QUOTE]
