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. Depending on the size of the backpack, the wearer may become a Mighty Glacier due to the weight slowing movement. Common for characters using hand-held miniguns (such as the trope-codifiers for hand-held miniguns, Blaine from Predator and the T-800 in Terminator 2: Judgment Day) or other portable machine guns. Also included are fuel tanks for flamethrowers, quivers for bows & crossbows of the archer, portable power plants/generators for heavy Energy Weapons, and the like. In Video Games, an enemy (usually an Elite Mook or Heavy Equipment Class of some kind) wearing an Ammunition Backpack will typically be invincible everywhere else, and can only be defeated by shooting the backpack until it explodes in a spectacular fashion, even though that wouldn't work in real life. See also Backpack Cannon. |

Robotic example from Too Human - some of the 'Troll' class enemies use heavy Grenade Launchers and wear huge, cylindrical ammo-canisters on their back to supply them. These are somewhat problematic since their presence prevents you from doing your 'jump up on their shoulders and stab them in the neck' insta-kill, and they're hard to destroy since the Trolls always turn to face you ... hence, the grenade-launching Trolls winds up being much more dangerous than their hammer-wielding brothers, but not because of their attack-range... | |

Paranoia Flamethrowers and plasma generators. On the downside, a malfunction means they're about to explode, and the wielder must spend time unstrapping themselves before trying to outrun the blast radius. Hand flamers avoid it, but hold less fuel (and are only legal starting at Violet clearance, same as plasma generators which are absurdly more powerful when they do work). The adventure "Send in the Clones" has an Ice Gun with its water supply in a large backpack instead of inside the gun as usual. White Dwarf magazine #81 adventure "The All New Computer Horror Real Action Show". The Magnetic Induction Hand Cannon is a pistol-type weapon attached to a backpack power supply. XP supplement Stuff The B-E Condensate Projector is connected to a backpack filled with helium gas at a temperature just above absolute zero. The projector sprays the helium on opponents, freezing them solid. The Crowd Control Sonic Screamer has its energy supply in a backpack. It sprays out intense high frequency sound that stuns and partially deafens its targets. The Magnetic Flux Cannon is a man-portable weapon with a backpack powerpack. The beam it fires has a devastating effect on electronics, such as robots, computers and vehicles. The Slipaway Liquified Inhibitor Pack fires out a spray of foam that renders surfaces frictionless. It stores the foam in a container/compressor backpack. |

The Protect Gear armor (pictured above) from Kerberos Saga has two different variants of this trope. In Jin-Roh: The Wolf Brigade and StrayDog: Kerberos Panzer Cops, Protect Gear's backpack stores ammo for MG42, but instead of it being a rack for a continuous belt going directly into the gun, it lets the user pull out individual belts to be loaded into the gun, sort of like a paper towel dispenser. Ilang: The Wolf Brigade adopts the ammo backpack used in the former. For bullets. The Red Spectacles and Kerberos Panzer Cop, on the other hand, feature a much more traditional example with a very long ammo belt that's directly linked into the wearer's backpack. | |

The Gatling Gun from Resident Evil 5 comes with a ludicrously huge backpack-o-ammo, whether it's being used by the aptly named Gatling Gun Maijinis or by Chris "Punched a Boulder" Redfield. It's actually somewhat problematic when you use it since the huge backpack blocks off so much of your vision that large parts of the screen become obstructed while in aim-mode. But it does have the huge plus of both giving the gatling gun its ammo (it's infinite) and it will also block attacks from the back, making it hard to get grappled or struck from behind. | |

S.S.D.D.: "Black Rose" Plasma Cannons are powered by a miniature fusion generator carried on the back. In fact, it is a major design weakness. The connecting hose is fragile and if ruptured, hot plasma spews out. Unlike larger reactors in cases where magnetic containment is breached, the plasma quickly superheats the casing upon contact before dissipating, causing an explosion. | |

Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas features an ammo backpack for many Big Guns, like the minigun or flamethrower, as well as a motorcycle gas tank for a Flaming Sword melee weapon. The Minigun has the ammo pack as well as motor, while the Gatling Laser has a huge battery pack. The Flamer has a fuel tank, but not the Incinerator, which has the tanks mounted on the chassis with a blast shield protecting them (and the user). The design marches on. However, Fallout 4 avoids this design concept, and the redesigns of existing weapons either move the magazine to the weapon itself or get rid of them entirely. According to the artbook, this was because they considered it an unreasonable limit on what clothes and armor could be like. | |

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 shower of gibs. Incredibly dangerous, that is, unless you have the Incinerate or Overload tech powers. In that case, flamers are more of a threat to their allies than to their enemies. |

Warhammer 40,000: Several weapons are linked to a backpack, such as Imperial Guard hellguns, Ork deffgunz, and various Space Marine weapons (heavy bolters, meltaguns, plasma cannons). Space Marine missile launchers are not linked to the backpack, but in some cases, it contains a reloading mechanism. Strangely enough, the massive Terminator assault cannon, a Gatling Good weapon so huge only the Terminators can carry them and fires even faster than the heavy bolter, doesn't need one. Kaptin Badrukk deserves special mention: his Rippa gun is nuclear-powered, and the only protection from the badly-contained reactor leaking radiation is a lead-lined Badass Longcoat. |

Shadowrun. Some heavy and directed-energy weapons like flamethrowers and lasers require lots of fuel/energy. If they're man-portable, the wielder is likely carrying all that fuel on his back. | |

Splatoon: All Inklings and Octolings participating in Ink Wars carry their supply of ink in the form of a backpack consisting mostly of a large clear tube, which can be refilled by collecting ink spilled in the area prior. From Splatoon 2 onwards, a line on the tube indicates the minimum amount of ink required to use the assigned sub-weapon. | |

Team Fortress 2: The Medic has a backpack for his Medigun. Subverted slightly with Pyro; that thing on the Pyro's back is an oxygen tank, the ammunition is supplied by a propane canister on the flamethrowers itself (though the class selection screen still shows the backpack connected to the weapon). 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. | |

The Matrix Revolutions has a variation on this with the humans' mecha, which load ammunition ("knuckle-up") by lifting the guns behind them and magnetically attaching the chains. The ammo is loaded in a manner similar to an ammunition backpack. | |

The Ammunition Backpack in Tribes, which doubles your ammo capacity. It's rarely used, however, since you end up sacrificing the ability to repair yourself, shield yourself, cloak yourself, or create a radar jammer. The Energy Pack in Tribes 1 and 2 simply increased the recharge rate of your energy bar, effectively increasing your energy weapon refire rate, but saw more use than the Ammo Pack due to the fact that it also allowed more jetpacking and also being required to equip the Laser Rifle. |

Doom: The Backpack in the classic games allows the player to carry double the ammo for all weapons. This is very useful for weapons with a high ammo consumption rate such as the rapid-fire chaingun and plasma rifle or the BFG. Backpacks make a comeback in Doom³, though they have no effect on ammo capacity; rather, they serve as a single pickup for various ammo types. |

Predator franchise: Blaine's Mini-Gun backpack magazine in the first Predator. Yes, it may just be an oversized magazine, but considering that it's Blaine, Predator, and the whole awesomeness in general of the movie, well, it becomes awesome by proxy. Predator 2: Peter Keys' team has "nitrogen guns" (liquid nitrogen backpacks attached to sprayers), which they plan to use to freeze (and thereby capture) the Predator. |
