Specialist ammo packs?

[ibskyde[TX]]

Could a build using the MP40 ammo packs on the waist belt in lieu of the standard drop boxes still be potentially approved for Specialist status?

Or would the standard drop boxes be required? I only see mention of the drop boxes in the specialist requirements... wasn't sure if it if implied that only builds with those drop boxes would be eligible, or if those specific requirements referencing the drop boxes only apply in the case that drop boxes are present, but can be ignored if the other ammo packs are used instead.

 

Thanks!
