for small team a such as the ubiquitous Morrow Project Recon Team GPMGs would typically be kept on the vehicle or, if dismounting a GPMG, the ammo would be distributed across the whole team often carried on top of buttpacks or rucks. so whoever is stuck carrying the thing can just grab a belt off of whoever is in front of them should they need to reload. while i have yet to find a convenient way to use straps to hold that ammo securely yet accessibly i am young enough to have been able to snag a 200 round saw pouch to carry my share of that load.
