Yeah it was the same thing in Iraq we had to carry two full mags on us...some people used their cargo pockets...I tried that for a bit but as you can imagine nothing says fun like having a fully loaded mag bang against the side of your knee as you wonder around the base. Then I scored a mag pouch for the end of the rifle, way better then the cargo pocket but still not feasible as you have to pull the rifle out of your shoulder pocket to get at it and your line of sight will go away from the reason you were reaching for the second mag to begin with. I would def recommend the redi-mod/mag, but just be proficient with it as the two types and generations work similar but different. Also the weight shouldn't be an issue as some have mentioned as I'm sure your duration of lugging the added weight around wouldn't be as long as a soldier/Marine.
You have enemies? Good. That means you've stood for something, sometime in your life.----Sir Winston Churchill
