As inspiring as this mental image is, it was a decision I made based on the components and the time I had. 1500 points of White Scars in five weeks, from scratch, is a little... well, thruthfully, it hurt.
But yes, I totally agree that some adaption to the bolters would fit better. I have seen jetbikes that use the normal bike bolters, upside down under the footplate, with the slope ends of the magazines glued to the sloped face of the plate, indicating an ammo feed slung underneath the engine.
As with most of my Scars, at some point in the future I hope to be able to adapt them slightly to make them more detailed and contextually accurate, jetbikes included. The most likely course that I can think of is ammo belts made of lengths of small gauge plastic rod, 'belts' of green stuff, and a plasticard hopper slung under the nose section.
But yeah, anything like drum mags, belts feeds, whatever, it all makes sense.
