How does that work? Oh wait, this ammo drum doesn't have my name stamped on it... 
I'm MGer and I resupply MGer

LOL! my mom makes me wear "idiot drums". they are tied together with a string. it runs up my arm, over my shoulder and down the other arm. that way i can't lose my drums. my "winter gloves" upgrade is the same way.
seriously, i re-supply everyone i can. it just makes sense! we're trying to win. we can't do that if our guns go silent. i had a guy the other night crying out for ammo. turns out he was a rifleman. i didn't even know we could re-supply them. i ran up and hit control and he thanked me as i ran away. i didn't notice if i got points for it, but i assume i did when he thanked me.
i find it so unusual when playing mg that people won't resupply you. i re-upped a mg on spartanovka the other day, and he wouldn't even reciprocate.
maybe re-supplying guys should be required for keeping points earned during a match? there's always multiple chances to do so.

I've been wondering how resupplying a machine-gunner by a machine-gunner works. Does it subtract from your overall ammunition?
Amusingly it was this way in RO1, till a patch removed the ability to give ammo as an MG'er. I do however notice that in RO2 if an MG gives ammo to another MG, they don't get any points for it.
maybe a good thing. i picture two mg's standing next to each other swapping drums back and forth racking up points and becoming heros in one match. LOL!
I have done this with a friend.
Minus the whole becoming heroes thing, it wasnt that great, we had to take cover half the time because despite our suppression, the enemy were just as accurate.
Hello,
I can confirm that is doesn't subtract from you own ammunition. I noticed this earlier today while playing as a machine gunner.
Recently I did notice this: Every third MG drum is always close to empty!
Is this some kind of bug? I couldn't find it in the bug list on the forum.

when I try to supply Mg, it goes like this; press control to supply--> goes in cover--> get out of cover--> walk around try to find the right spot to click---> boom headshot -->respawn

I always go out of my way to resupply. But after I resupply someone, I cant do it a second time.
After resupplying MG player, pay visit to ammo box, then you can resupply again MG player. You can carry only one MG resupply at a time.
Note that it's a "generic" resupply, does not matter if MG guy is carrying a DP-28, MG-34 with single drum, dual drum or a belt. You always happen to have the correct resupply item (2 drums/belts?).
it's just like other nuances of the game. the more you do it, the easier it is to do without getting hung up and dieing.
Than in itself is far better than it was in RO1. In RO1 it would mean running up to MG (who is likely prone), and then skidding on top of them due to the collision between friendly players. Typically skidding either in front of the MG fire resulting in a TK, or skidding you in some bizarre fashion resulting in your quick death to enemy fire. All while you tried to "skate around" on your team mate and get back into safety.
So yeah.. silver lining and all! Still, silly having the cover button shared with other actions.
haha well I quess with hoes we have a better system then
But yeah the cover system should be made separate. Im always a bit hesintant about pressing control as u never know what might happen
Only mgers can be resupplied by other players. You will have to go to an ammobox if you want to be resupplied as an engineer.
The game assumes everyone carries some MG ammunition. But to extend this to every type of ammunition in the game would be out of control.
