I carry 5 CA 30rd metal realcaps, one of the most realistic loadouts for patrol (i.e. 4 ~ 5 mags).

If it's a mission, then I'll carry up to 10 CA 30rd metal realcaps.

I just have one M9 pistol mag though, so I guess that this is the part where I'm not realistic enough.

I've been trying to limit my ammo to simulate a real combat situation. If you're very much into milsim, then you can try doing the same. I'm sure that it's rewarding, especially when you know that you're going to run out of ammo, you'll have to be even more stealthy and retreat when it's necessary, or ask your teammates for fire support, and so on.
