How many mags are you guys bringing to make sure you have enough ammo? It’s my understanding that the chip McCormick power mags are a no go.

I take a bunch, but try to get an idea of what I’ll need prior to the match. I might have 5 on me max for a stage, but usually only need 3 or 4. I always have more than I need, but bet I don’t have more than 6 or 7 in my range bag.
