In the R2, in the turrets section it already mentions how much space is
dedicated for ammo storage.

Using the RBB, for every dedicated CF of space for ammo you get either 50
clips of normal ammunition, or 25 clips of heavy weapon ammunition.

> how much ammo per cubic foot

see above ...

> cost for ammo storage

All you need is dedicated CF for storage ... see above ...

None, as the saying goes, "Batteries not included."

If R2 mentions it, I can't find it. Refering to RBB (pg 123 for those who
care)

firm points can hold 5 times normal clip capacity.

hard points can hold 2 heavy weapon or 5 non-heavy clips installed as a belt.

Manned turrets can hold 20 heavy or 50 non heavy magazine capacities as a
belt.

Remote turrets, same as manned but must have automatic feed system.

>how much ammo per cubic foot

All extra ammo is considered a single-linked belt.
Firmpoint 1 CF = 50 magazine capacities.

Hardpoint 1 CF = 20 heavy or 50 non-heavy magazine capacities, cost 500
ny/CF (becuase you have to modify the vehicle with feed ramps and storage
area.

Manned turret 1 CF = 50 heavy or 250 non-heavy magazine capacities, no
extra cost since the person manning the turret is doing the feed work.

Remote Turrets 1 CF = 20 heavy or 50 non-heavy magazine capacities, cost
500 ny/CF (becuase you have to modify the turret with feed ramps and
storage area.

>cost for ammo storage

see above

>how much ammo is included in the mounting of the weapon in the first place

see above (ammo for weapons)(side note, mounted weapons must be converted
for belt feed)

Hope this helps
