Ammunition Loadouts in SPWW2

[seabolt]

A burst represent 2-3 rounds, for your calc about 6 kg worth of ammo for the squad.

I'm using the term "burst" differently.

Certainly, a quick pull of the trigger, or "burst fire," will discharge two to five rounds depending on machine and man.

But it's not realistic to argue that an MG is laying down withering fire with 18 bullets discharged over 30 seconds of combat. I'm using "burst" to mean "1 ammo increment for the MG in SPWW2." Realistically, that should represent about 40 rounds for a BAR to 100 rounds for the MG 42, with the average MG consuming 50 rounds per ammo increment, or "burst."

What you should think about it the Sturm pioneer squad carrying two 280 mm rockets :)

I'd hazard that the demolition charges were even nastier deadweight. There's a reason that engineers are the first units to get motorized in just about every army ...
