I have noticed that when the MC finds some ammo lying around he picks it
up, BUT only up to a full load then he discards the rest.
For example: rocket launcher with two rounds in the launcher and seven
being carried. Now MC finds a box of rockets. These hold two rounds. He
picks up one round to reach a full load. Where is the other round? He
lost it. Same with any other weapons. He will toss away/loose the
surplus beyond the full carry load.
So when picking up ammo make sure:
1) you have re-loaded first
2) you can use all the ammo you're about to pick up or have no intention
on returning to that area.

The other round remains in the box. You can go back and pick it up once you
shoot/reload. Same with other ammo.

Nay. The rocket launcher is the best example. When the one round is
picked up, the whole box vanishes. There is no other round to come back to.
