No.
For one, nanites are supposed to be a special thing, like teleportation from drop uplinks.
For two, it makes the idea of carrying a sidearm in case you run out of ammo a mute point.
However, the idea of different dropsuits having different ammo supplies interests me... Plas one just for that.

The lore. Nanohives and Drop Uplinks are supposed to be special cases. If this system was implemented, it could uproot all the lore that I've stood for! By the way, I'm fairly certain those two work on a similar principle. Teleportation. From what I understand, the ammo from nanohives isn't composed of nanites. Nanites simply deconstruct ammo, go through the teleportation process, end up at the nanohive, and then reconstruct the ammo. As such, carrying around the nanites wouldn't be very efficient, but with teleportation it's fine.
I don't know for sure, but judging from the size of the nanohive and its similarity to the Drop Uplink, I think this theory is highly probable. Don't you agree?

Can happen quite often if you use a Laser Rifle, Mass Driver, Sniper Rifle, or other weapon that has relatively low ammo, and you don't have a nanohive with you.

See? It's already lorebusting without becoming a regular thing! It infuriates me!
*begins to weep*
I like consistency, you know? Nothing that fantastic has ever been done with nanites in EVE Online.

How do nanites move individual electrons to recharge an Energy Weapon? Is each ScR magazine its own self contained powerplant? That would be pretty cool.
They are power cells, after all.

It makes no sense!
I don't know how the power cells work, I just know that they do.
