Hi

I was playing my CTF with two Gauss Rifles. During the match I was not shooting a lot, about 5 times (10 ammo lost). Then I recieved a heavy broadside into my left torso and left arm. The Gauss Rifle exploded (I guess at least) and destroyed arm and left torso. The rest of my Mech was fully functional, only minor scratches, but 20 Gauss ammo in right torso was gone.
I thought the ammo would be used evenly from all slots and was not linked by a status like Gauss ammo = operational or destroyed.
I hope this is not intended as it makes splitting ammo across the mech fairly useless...

Ammo is not used evenly, it is used one one after another in a specific order. Right torso gets used before left torso, for example, so in your case your RT ammo was already depleted. Also it can be destroyed just like every other item.

Thanks for the info. So no bug. Well I thought I wasn't shooting that much ... must have been the heat of battle then. Topic can be closed, I think.
