Solution:

OK, here's a brief overview summary ...
 
Since the *placement* of the ammunition in your mech is also important, here are more tidbits:
 
MWO Ammo Usage Order:

http://mwomercs.com/forums/topic/281082-ammo-usage-order-in-torsoarmslegshead
 
1. Center Torso
2. Right Torso
3. Left Torso
4. Left Arm
5. Right Arm
6. Left Leg
7. Right Leg
8. Head

Can someone please help to confirm that the ammunition gets used up in this order?

Ammo gets used in this order: [Center_Torso]>>[Right_Torso]>>[Left_Torso]>>[Left_Arm]>>[Right_Arm]>>[Left_Leg]>>[Right_Leg]>>[Head]

==>I cannot verify this info; tried searching this MWO forum... thank you in advance!

I guess you'll not believe me now since you didn't earlier...

Verification of this order by my own testing and via the official wiki: https://wiki.mwomerc...p?title=Weapons

Many thanks for pointing out the correct torso order of ammo bin consumption!

Have just put up a "The fine art of mechlab mech customisation" here:

Ammunition in the center torso is always used first, ammunition in the head is always used last. There is a danger of unused ammunition exploding when damaged in combat, see below Internal Explosions for details.

Internal Explosions:
http://wiki.mwomercs...rnal_Explosions

Gauss ammunition does not explode when crit.
AMS ammunition does ot explode anymore.

An ammunition bin has a 10% chance to explode when destroyed, dealing damage as a single hit to its location. The damage depends on the amount of ammunition remaining in the bin. The ammunition within a destroyed bin is lost, whether or not it explodes.

IS gauss rifles have a 90% chance to explode when destroyed and Clan gauss rifles have a 100% chance to explode when destroyed - dealing damage as a single hit to its location. The amount of damage an explosion deals depends on the type of gauss rifle.

there was something half-official in forums long time ago

Another question: suppose that I put 1.5 tons of ammo into two slots in my mech's CT.
And no other ammo on my mech.

CT Top slot: 1 ton ammo bin
CT Bottom slot: 0.5 ton ammo bin

==>Does the 1 ton ammo bin gets used first in my CT? Or is it the other way around?

[Aidan Crenshaw]

Good question. I guess we have no way of figuring that out.
