We had a rule that ammunition for a weapon could be no more than one zone away from the weapon itself. I suspect that was one of the actual rules they never quite managed to write down (like a proper explanation of the "center torso (critical)" hit location); I can think of no design in the 3025 TR that doesn't conform to it. (In fact, we were a little more generous to the likes of the standard Shadow Hawk 2H than the actual manual was, and added an exception to the one-zone rule that allowed the ammo for its head-mounted SRM2 to be moved to a side torso.)
