I've been researching a little in some articles and old threads but no one seemed to have the answer...
As you may know, heavy ammo spawns in the map. Let's say that gives you 100 bullets for the heavy machine guns and 4 rockets to the rocket launchers.
Okay so you re-spawn with only primary weapon ammo, no secondary? nor heavy ammo
(I'm not sure about your secondary weapon ammo, somebody please correct me if I'm wrong)
In the map you see and pick up heavy weapon ammo for your heavy machine gun thunderlord, you continue playing, fire 30 bullets and then somebody kills you. You drop all your ammo, including heavy.
Somebody with the Gjallarhorn rocket launcher picks it up...
[b]How many rockets does he have now?[/b]
Let's say you had the Gjallarhorn with your 4 rockets and fire 1 rocket before dying and the one who picked your heavy ammo had the thunderlord...
[b]How many bullets does he have now?[/b]
In the second case he would have 75 bullets since you had 75% of your ammo...

Your heavy is empty when you spawn at the beginning of a "match" and after death. The only way to get heavy ammo is from killing enemies. Chances are that there will be armor that plays into this as well. ex) 3 kills net 1 serving of heavy ammo. Armor with a passive buff = 2 kills net 1 serving of heavy ammo.
