(from Airmax's and z_rampage1980's description of a component an SIR sim game).
== Notes and Comments ==
* You can use an actual metal ammo box, which is approximately $30 (ca 2012) at most Surplus stores.
* 20 bags of bb's need a space approximately 1200 cubic inches (60 cubic inches each), or 18 x 12 x 6
* Only some players will need ammo right away if some troops have enough and if there is a ammo limit as well in play
* This is also decided in how many ammo drops that are provided per team per day too. Depending on BB bag limit, such as 2000 rounds, you should fit up to 10 bags in a common ammo box or more.
* Communal Reserve: Each 2000 round bag is good for 3 players at a 600 round limit, generally only some of the team needs ammo or at least a full reload of ammo.
* Consider for a "supply drop" during a milsim:
** 600 round limit per player
** 10 bags @ 2000 rounds each is 20,000 rounds, which should cover about 33 players
** Ammo consumption also depends on number of players per team
** A support (Squad Automatic Weapon) gunner needs 1 full bag alone
* Individual Reserve: players store their personal reserves in the crate in separate, marked resealable bags and only use them when permitted during supply drops
** special bb weights
** colors
** biodegradeable bb's
** rules specify no transferring of ammo between players or taking from others' reserves
