Hi!

The Grenadier got about 20 m203 charges (~15 nades / ~5 smokes) with him, i'm not sure, but isn't that a little bit unrealistic?

I don't think the soldier have such a big backpack to carry about 20 nades. Where the soldier is storing twenty 40mm nades in prm?

Beside of this, I think more smokes and lesser nades would be useful. About 15 nades are more than enough, but only five smokes are a little bit few, personally I usually need about 3 smokes to smoke a street in prm.

According to our Military Advisors the number is correct.

Also,
According to a study done on the load a soldier carries into battle conducted on a group of 82nd Airborne in Afghanistan, a grenadier carries "24-26 assorted 40mm grenades... worn on [his] fighting load carrier/interceptor body armor
