The feature depicted is present in almost all magazine fed weapons.
I can live with infinite ammo by imagining mechs carrying enough of it onboard to last them through a battle.
But this, it kinda ruins the immersion for me.

I've mentioned this many times to my buddy while playing. He said he had no idea either.

The hammer can't even strike the rounds properly.

Well, If there is any way for this to get to the art/texturing guys working on Hawken, please; I can find any kind of excuse for most weird design features in this game but not for this one. Just open up MS Paint or something :P just before the release and add little black dots on the front and back of the magazines.

And I'm only stuck on this insignificant detail because the art in this game is gorgeous overall. If I was in for the gameplay only and the art was meh I wouldn't bother.

Hawken cheats on a lot more technical things. Have you seen the Vanguard's groin? Or have you ever thought of how C classes move about in turret mode?

Could be a forward port ejection system in between the cannon and mini shield.

It's a helmet mounted HUD, giving the appearance of being in the cockpit when it's all really being projected inside a helmet, or inside the mech on video screens.

How do you explain the HUD boot up sequence during the beginning of a match then? Note that the Graphic Novel was penned and published before the current HUD existed.

That occurred before the time of the game HAWK3N, back when Prosk's innovation with Cavorite was a novelty.

As time progresses/changes, so does technology. And it wouldn't say it's a stretch to say the external viewing method varies, depending on Class/Axe type.

You could say that the boot up system could be scanned directly on to their retinas.  Since we are in the future, there is no reason not to have a retinal scan display on them that's surgically implanted in their eyes.
