Bombing up

[precinctomega]

Soldiers in training seem to spend a lot of time bombing up because there's rarely enough magazines (or, indeed, ammunition) to go around.  In real combat, a soldier will carry as many full magazines as humanly possible and bombing up will be reserved for the re-org.

That said, if the matter should arise in a game, I would typically say that a character can load a number of rounds into a magazine per Action equal to his Speed.  Obviously, using something like a speed loader will reduce this, perhaps allowing them to load a number of rounds equal to the size of the speed loader per Action.  The Quickload ability will always double the number of rounds that can be loaded.
