Battlefield 4
— Customization menu description (alpha gameplay)
The Ammo Pack is an alternative resupply item for the Support kit in Battlefield 4. It immediately provides two primary and/or secondary weapon magazines for the player that picks it up. It can supply up to three explosives or replacement gadgets, one at a time, like the regular Ammo Box but only while stopping on it.
Like the First Aid Pack, it can be thrown much further than the Ammo Box by targeting an ally. The pack will home on the player, making it unnecessary to compensate for their movement. If thrown at a player that already has their full complement of reserve ammunition, the pack will remain on the ground.

Battlefield V
— In-game description
Multiplayer
The Ammo Pouch is a gadget featured in Battlefield V Multiplayer, issued to the Support class. Unlike past installments, players carry less ammunition, and must resupply frequently. Similar to Bandages, the Support has an unlimited amount of Ammo Pouches with a short cooldown between each use.
Pouches are able to be given to teammates when an ammunition icon is displayed over a teammate. Once this icon is present, the player must press Gadget 1 in order to throw a pouch. The Support kit can also resupply with the ammo pouch by holding Gadget 1.
Ammo Pouches only resupply primary and secondary weapon ammo. Ammo Crates feature Ammo Pouches inside them which are picked up when interacted with, although they also resupply gadgets. Supply Stations allow grenades to be replenished.
Players drop an Ammo Pouch when they are critically wounded, allowing anyone nearby to recover a small amount (less than a pouch given willingly). Assault using the Light Infantry Combat Role have the "Scavenger" trait that allows them to recover more ammunition from dropped pouches. Recon players equipped with Throwing Knives can replenish knives from any dropped pouches.
