I was just thinking that the bin may hold five bandoliers of ammunition for the rifles. There really is no other dedicated place on the carrier for rifle ammunition. I justed tried it out with my one bandolier and it fits really well lying flat. I could see five of them in the bin ready to go as needed. That woudl also take care of the 250 rounds specified in the manual.
