AAAAH! NOOOOOO!
Actually, I think that would be useful, if you put them in a secret area.

Just take 50 nades, put them next to your flag/CD, if someone come shot.
Result : the guy that came there die, your PC freeze for 15 seconds, the server crash... But he didn't get your damn CD.

haha ya wow i can imagine all the shouts of CAMPER with people ACTUALY having a chance to defend now yeehaw
What would prevent people from creating a veritable armory of sorts at the spawn? Jesus, you have 8 guys on one team bringing in a plethora of ammo and weaponry... wait! /me brainstorms and rubs hands together maniacally
Could this actually happen? Say I bring like *cough*25*cough* AKSMU drums and drop all but one off at spawn to save my stamina and stay and defend? That would be insane... There would be no stopping me....
MUHAHAHAAAAHAHAHAHAAAAHHAHAHAHAAA *cough* Ahem. *cough*
Anyways.

You can take ammo for guns you don't use in your Loadout.
That would be nice to give them to team mates out of ammo.
I think there something like that in Team Fortress Classic.

That WOULD be neat; having everyone in the squad lug a box of ammo for the Miniami, and when it's needed, the next person up just hands it to the miniami carrier. Would make for good teamwork.

Shooting first..shooting some more......
Roflmao
Picture this:
MM249 gunner, blasting away, cans of ammo laying around him.
In the midst of the flying belt links and guts, an enemy sniper zooms in on one of the ammo cases next to him.........
...guess he won't be able to open a bottle of ketchup anymore.

The only realistic approach is if you were to hand ammo bwn teammates. Actually that would be cool.
Stocking up a pile of ammo isn't true to the mission of INF, holding realism in high regards. An infantry squad is supposed to be flexible unless entrenched/mortar/7.62/12.7 machinegun.
The SAW is ment to be a personal weapon, not a squad-weapon. (by that I mean tht the soldier toting it around doesnt have another weapon)
Now, in a squad he will be the main guy pouring down bullets on the enemy (hence the name)
You have ammo in Boat/ICV/Backpack/Support company, ppl bringing it in on request or you (commander) fetching it with a couple of runners.

@ 6mm: IMO bastardb ment that the ammo-box wouldn't explode until the volatile ammo mutator is on. Ammo-boxes and nades usually don't explode on a simple projectile impact. The chance is less than 10%.
BTW /me likes the idea of carrying extra-ammo for the SAW-gunner

hopefully the saw will slow these boys way way down... so at least on publics i can keep up to them and watch there back
making me feel that im at least using teamwork.... too bad it has to come to sneaky teamwork tactics

**edit **
I don't know how they do it in the US Marine Corps, but in an Army Infantry unit, that is an incorrect statement.
The M249 is a Squad Automatic Weapon (SAW). It is intended to augment an infantry squad's firepower. In some light infantry units, the SAW completely replaces the M60 LMG. 8 SAWs per platoon is a lot more firepower than 2 -60s.
Ammo is usually distributed amongst the squad members. In a firefight, most times they'll drop the ammo near the gunner. If it comes down to a need for a resupply (in the middle of a firefight) from a boat/icv/chopper/runners whatever, that squad's usually in so much sh*t, they better be evac'ing instead of resupplying.

I hold your opinions to be entirely true Grunt, but as I said, I meant that the SAW completely replaces both (at least in sweden that is the case) MG and AR. A squad weapon would be a weapon that isn't personal, that is what I meant.
Also, I am all for the idea that ammo can be distributed freely in a squad and that one should be allowed to carry x-tra for SAW, just that the thougth of piles of ammo around ppl (meaning ppl load up to xtreme when spawning only to dump their excessive 5 packs of ammo) feels less than realistic to me. I don't know about the US Army but when assaulting, you dont pile tons and tons of ammo up on the assault teams, I mean the INF game is all about that.
If dug in or part of the designated fire-support team, then we are at a different position and it would only be correct to pile up.
Come to think of it, I believe I wrote all this in my 1st post which makes me wonder how carefully you read it
