[[File:
A [[Sub-Trope]] of [[Awesome Backpack]], the '''Ammunition Backpack''' is there if you use [[More Dakka]], but don't have [[Bottomless Magazines]], or just don't have enough space to carry more ammo in your pockets or [[Badass Bandolier]].
Common for characters using hand-held [[Gatling Good|miniguns]] (such as Blaine in ''[[Predator]]'' and the T-800 in ''[[Terminator]] 2'') or other portable machine guns.

* [[media:
* The [[Green Arrow]]'s most famous arrow quiver is a wide rucksack design that covers his entire back.
Line 62:
* ''Terran Trade Authority'' RPG: the Power Backpack can be used as a power source for all portable energy weapons. It doesn't just store energy, it actually generates it, so it provides effectively infinite shots.
* ''[[GURPS]] Technomancer'':
** The Portable Mana Disruptor had a backpack ERTG power pack and the Manpack Necrolaser was connected to a 20
** Flamethrowers have a backpack fuel tank.
Line 75:
* Certain enemies in ''[[Borderlands]]'' have ammo tanks which can be blown up (which is good, since these enemies tend to be the insanely powerful ones).
* ''[[Team Fortress 2]]'': The Medic has a backpack for his Medigun. Subverted slightly with the Heavy and Pyro; their ammunition is supplied by canisters on the weapons themselves. That thing on the Pyro's back is an oxygen tank, by the way, though the class selection picture has it connected to the flamethrower itself. The Scout seems to keep all his weapons in his messenger bag, and the Soldier has a small backpack filled with rockets. The Sniper, when using the Huntsman, carries a quiver of arrows.
* Robotic example from ''[[Too Human]]'' - some of the 'Troll' class enemies use heavy [[Grenade Launcher
* ''[[Fallout 3]]'' features an ammo backpack for many [[BFG|Big Guns]], like the minigun or flamethrower, as well as a motorcycle gas tank for a [[Flaming Sword]] melee weapon.
* Flamer units in ''[[Mass Effect 2]]'' come with fuel tanks on their backs. Incredibly dangerous at close range as it almost instantly breaks your shields and can stunlock you to death. The best tactic to use against them is to snipe the fuel tank from long range, which causes them to flail around before exploding in a [[Ludicrous Gibs|shower of gibs]].
