Well, with TOWs on Bradleys carrying 13 reloads, 5 by default seems a
little low.  Maybe go with 10 as the default number of shots for an
unmodified tube, and modify the size/cost by 1/10ths, rounded up in all
cases.	Thus, a 20 shot GMS/L would cost and require twice the space of
a basic GMS/L, but have twice the ammo and still be only /one/ tube. 
It'd still be the same cost and size as two GMS/L tubes, however, though
the latter can fire two missiles a turn for half as long.
