If you go by DIRTSIDE II mechanics, GMS units on vehicles are
infinite-firing devices.  The number of tubes just indicates how many
missiles they can fire off per round.

If that seems a bit gratuitous to you, pick a number (I rather like 5,
but it could vary) and divide the cost/space of the GMS by it, and say
that the base tube comes with only X missiles, with additional rounds
costing/spacing Y.

Myself, I rather like them being infinite-fire.  Given the average
lifespan of vehicles in DSII, you'd think they'd carry enough
firepower for any immediate engagement.
