How many 30mm grenades carried?

[perardua]

The scale given in the manual for the British UGL is for 22 rounds of 40mm HEDP carried in two 11 round bandoleers, which is certainly what I was issued when I was in Afghanistan, though I tended to only carry 6 on my Osprey and the remainder in my daysack to leave more space for rifle magazines.

On one of the pre-deployment live fire ranges we did, on the other hand, I was the only UGL gunner in my multiple that was actually present, so I ended up carrying a total of 66 UGL rounds for a withdrawal from contact and defence shoot scenario. I don't think I fired a single round from my rifle, and ended up in a trench with my daysack laying on the edge filled to the brim with 40mm rounds and me doing a reasonable impression of a GMG.

As for spreading ammunition through the Section, UGLs, like LMGs, are normally regarded as individual weapons and the gunner will be expected to carry the entirety of his own load. Anything that has been acquired beyond that may (emphasis on may) be shared out. GPMG ammo, on the other hand, will probably be given out to everybody in vast quantities.
