An ammo bag can refill the ammo bag of the machinegunner and rifleman
support kit and afterwards supply an engineer with 3 mines. This allows infinite ammo support on squad level.
The manual states that the ammo bag should resupply about 1 soldier:
Ammo Resupply - Project Reality Wiki
But both, having infinite ammo and only having ammo for 1 guy is bad for
the dynamics of the game.
I think it would be useful to support the whole squad.
Or maybe the ammo bag should refill ~one soldier but everybody can refill
at the rally point.
Also the machine gunner should not carry ammo for the whole squad.
Sorry if this is generally know and has been adressed before, a short
search did not bring up a thread.

true, this came up in threads a few times, but i haven't seen one dedicated to this matter
i think the discussion went like:
the ammobag should only resuply certain amunition (no granades n stuff)
personally i thought having the ammobag not throwable (eg. medic kit) - but infinite resupply for the primary weapon would be cool - should take some time to "give out" the ammo though

No way they can change this, the engine won't allow it.
Resupplying the ammo is unrealistic but part of the game, and you would be either dumb or extremely idealistic not to take advantage. So it's hardly a cheat. Only thing they can adjust is the speed of supplying the squad, in 0.6 the bag contained much less (maybe a 1/3) of what it does now.
No way to make it resupply only specific ammo either.

Pretty strange. I heard the ammo from vehicles was removed to stop people form having "unlimited" ammo. Now they've removed a much more plausable source of a large ammount of ammo compared to a little brown bag that can essentially last forever.

Yes, but the little brown bag takes significantly more time than the vehicles to rearm, since you have to toss it on the ground, and you must make sure that you grab a new bag, reducing the amount of ammo you can supply to your squad.
It's unrealistic, but ammo isn't generally a problem, so I don't think it's a big deal. I know the DEVs are making some rearming changes for the patch though, so maybe they're changing this? Like only rearming at RPs, no more ammobags? (Please?)
But that's another topic entirely.
