Thread: One For the Ammo Counters !

  1. #1

    Default One For the Ammo Counters !

    I was looking into options for ammo tokens for those of us that use limited ammo for Lewis guns, or, just in general, when I came across this laser cut mdf 'Rifle Bullet Tokens' product by Charlie Foxtrot Models in the UK:

    Each round is about 1" x 1/4" in old money and you get 50 rounds in a bag so there are plenty to go around.
    As you can see I have modified some by cutting off the bullet to create an empty casing to represent reload phases when the gun runs dry.
    At £2.75 a bag it's not a huge layout.
    It may be too fiddly for some but they fit nicely on a plane card, are easier to count than a stack of card tokens at a glance & can be painted if desired.

    This is a very cool find, Dave! While I have not succumbed to 'counting bullets' yet, with something like this to help, I could see where it would be quite practical.

    Thanks for finding these and sharing the link.

    All the best,
    Matt

    They are really cool - I have been using micro dice on my special consoles, but they look really good

    I think something like this would steer me toward ammo limits.
    Perhaps Herr Oberst could make something like this as a 'bonus' for pre-orders ?

    They were a good 'find', Dave. I was just going to use a 6-sided die for a Lewis gun.

    Good idea! I have a box of .303 spent cases waiting for reloading, I might use them!
