Why does everybody claim there were no rules about ammunition supply? Look
at the deathstrike! A one shot missile! That is (roughly, AT instaed of
DR) What the Mega Gargant has. He only carries two missiles and can not
shoot both in the same turn. That should be the ruling, ask GW roolboyz
about it.
