Helldivers had a great mechanic for Launchers (Destiny)

Launchers called down from orbit always came in two parts - The launcher and an ammo pack. The launcher was carried in your hands as a heavy weapon while the ammo was a backpack.

Because they occupied separate slots you could carry both at once, but the size and bulk of them made your reloads suuuuuper slow as you awkwardly loaded an item from your back into a large pipe. The alternative was to have a teammate carry the ammo for you. They'd lose their backpack slot, but the tradeoff was lightning fast reloads as they simply stood behind you and popped another rocket into the back of the launcher when needed.
