Maybe one of the many mortar sub-classes could be edited to that effect.

But I suspect that would be a lot of effort for a feature that "might be neat."

Perhaps if you were to calculate the weight of 50 81mm rounds at ~4.5 kilogrammes each (times 2 or 3 if the element is a section), you would be thinking differently?.

It's about a quarter of a ton, if I have done my sums right.

SP has always let the 3 or 4 crew of each mortar hump all those rounds, as well as the tube, baseplate and bipod plus sights. And their packs, rifles and other paraphernalia too. (The AI simply could not handle dealing with 50 rounds in a separate ammo crate, or parcelled out 2 per guy in the third platoon of the rifle coy the section is attached to).
