I take 3 mags but I hardly use all the bullets. After suppresive fire in semi and one or 2 bursts, I change my mag for cases of heavy encounter. I don't remember being without ammo in a round ever with my P90 in this configuration.
Sniper loadout: 2 mags for the RC50 and the PSG. Never out of ammo also.

2 mag for most rifles, but I only use a drum for AKmsu.
I carry 3 for the sig though. 2 for the PSG-1 and carry no robar.
Usually after the match, I'll most likely used up one mag.

Disregarding the fact that I haven't posted here forever, I want to help in any way I can so!
I'm with DeRailer I usually take in 2 mags per rifle, and 1 for a pistol. Not much ammo is needed usually just have to keep your fire controlled, keep low, and make your shots count.
Anyways

2-3 mags for rifle, usually 2 mags for my sidearm (1 spare).
Suppressive fire is too scarey as it gives my position away and I die.

I find it hard to pick one answer...
...i think i got 5 mags in most of my loadouts, but how many i actually use depends ALOT on playmode, map, lag and skill of the enemy.
With my sig loadout (sig, scope, 5xmags, 2xnades, knife) i default to burst fire at roundstart and often suppres corners that i am expecting heads to pop out from.
With higher skilled enemies and/or light lag, switching to autofire becomes nessesary, because bursting at people don't work when they are not there by the time the packets reach the server - wheres as auto fire allows a kill because he will run into the fire himself. (which is why the drum AK rules so much some maps, since it produce lag and takes advantage of it with big clip and autofire.).
I don't run dry very often with 5 mags, neither DE og Sig loadout, but some maps just means hands you more "tough firelines" or more moving targets that others... all resulting in wasted ammo.
...but since most my loadouts contain one weapon only be it a pistol or a gun +2-5 nades (often 5 in light pistol loadouts) the extra ammo rarely hinder me.

That's a real hard one, mainly because I only play offline - so I don't know if that counts - plus I play INF Lite quite a lot.
So I have 5 mags(or whatever the maximum is, depending on the weapon)in the loadout, but in regular INF only use 1-2 mags with ARs and 2-3 for SMGs(I tend to go full-auto with SMGs and that's 1/2 mag per enemy..); sniper rifles are below 1 mag usually.
I think 2-3 is about what I use average.

Well if you do that alone, it's all your fault!
I suppress an area in semi-auto only to help mates advance in the map. I don't care if there is a tango or not, I just pin everything down until my mate get to a covered position. Works well in some maps like Siberia or Bulletcourt but not everywhere...
I dunno if the forum is the best place to ask this - we are a different kind of player
Unless I feel the inate need to scare the **** outta my targets(Need bullet flight-sounds!), I don't use anything more than one or two clips. Usually one.

I carry 5 mags all the time. I dont spray and pray. I just find that a lot of the time, I am the last person alive on a pub server and there are 3 or 4 enemies left. I might use a mag for suppresive fire at the start of a round and then just make my way through the rest of the map with 4 mags. Mp5 on 3 round burst goes a long way but you have to be damn accurate because it takes 3 rounds to kill someone. GL to all the ppl playing with 2 or 3 mags. Isn't it funny how when you are in the game, and hear a friendly say "Weapon's dry", there is a 90 percent chance of him being the next one to die. HAHAHA
You gotta love INF.

it really depends on how i play, i usually play as a sniper, so i rarely really need to reload ( i still take 4 magz for rc50 and 2 for psg though, sometimes when im in the mooth i keep firing at walls when i saw some1 run for cover... it really works 
when i play as assaulter, usually no surpression fire, if i do use cover fire, its usually for others and not for me, use 2 magz avrg.
in cqb on the other hand, i use 4 magz a round avrg, cuz i tend to meet 4 people after i lean around the corner... then i hit fire and dont let go till i here click!

4? 3ee? 2oooo? ONE? ARE YOU KIDDIN'?
People... someone needs to take care of that nasty guys leaning over there to know where to launch their m14 grens... they are NOT gonna do it till i have ammo!
Suppressing fire is everything in the moments before detonation
Two weapons... p90 4 mags and Sig 2 mags... i rarely have a mag on BOTH weapons at roundends.
GIMME 'unlimited' ammo clips!
That'll show them!

A player that is willing to bring 4 drums along and surpress the enemy for yah can certainly be useful.
Thats exactly the point. Suppressing is for real team cooperation. Its, imho, the next step in gameplay.
Unfortunately, people who rushes often must count on luck to gain advanced covered positions with no S.F. ... often sacrificing themselves to unveil enemies.
Cautious players are ofter left alone by rushers... who show advancement paths for the other team... and allow easy cornering and picking out...
and finally Cautious players who dont want to be surprised by cascaded enemyteam rushers who circled the OTHER cautious players... DO CAMP... not giving suppressive fire to anyone!
I hope to have made myself clear...
Camping is not healthier.
Low Mags numbers are Nasty for teamplay.
4, I do that "tactical reload" thing good and early, because over 56.6 I can never be sure exactly how long a burst I have fired.
this poll is a bunch of crap. Anyone who carries 1-2 clips into a round is useless. If you don't carry at least 3 mags, ak drums are an exception, you won't last in the long run.
Although the poll was rigged.. The stupid sayings behind each amount stupified it because that just put the players into a "i'm better then you because" situation.
but in any case, i carry as much as i can

Of course. A soldier carries as much as he comforably can, although not always in clip form.
Be prepared. I posted what I use per-round, not how much I carry.
