That's a Nanohive...
If it's a module there are three notions that come to mind:
- slow regeneration of ammo: personally I dislike as it devalues the ammo capacity skill and nanohives, and if too low would be pretty worthless.
- spare ammo extension: total ammo reserve is increased by X%, letting you fight for longer but having no direct combat ability.
- clip size extension: dangerous, like the skill. Applied to certain weapons would be borderline (or actually way over) OP (Kubo's PLC with like four shots anyone?) or entirely pointless (the ScR, which can never really fire its full clip anyway so you might as well reload.)
Personally, I only really see the reserve ammo module being reasonably balanced. In its own way it would actually buff nanohives used by that player (whether friendly or enemy) since nanohives grant ammo as a percentage - a larger reserve gives a larger amount restored per pulse, meaning yo don't need to top up to full, so that hive stays longer.

The only fair way to increase clip size or provide the option would for it not to be a skill but an item ..
If weapons had specialized parts that could be placed In sockets on the weapon for an enhancement to one stat at the cost of another
For example scopes clips barrel mods crystals (lasers)
It could easy be made balanced but I know nothing like that will ever be in dust

I think it just means you could carry more ammo. Like the ammo modules for vehicles.

While I am opposed to the idea, I could think of one way: +3% Increase To Magazine Size and +1 Increase To Launcher Weapon Magazine Size per Level. That would be insanely OP for Plasma Cannons, and would strongly devalue the Officer Plasma Cannon 6 round Alloteks pumping out 3336.7 DPS. The Splash Damage would out DPS an HMG.... You'd also get a 9 round Forge Gun, which means you can basically go to town with the AFG. I don't even want to know the horror that an 8 round Swarm Launcher would cause... There's a reason why I said I'm opposed. 
No no no, you want more swarms and I would love to have more plasma and more forge.
This is clearly a balanced proposal

This is different from now, how?
Fack it, might as well board the hype-train again. At least there's tracks this time.

If need be the ammo increase per level can vary depending on the weapon; the HMG would get less per level than a shotgun or assault rifle.
I just want a way to fix the ammo amount of my Breach Assault Rifle. The clip was dropped and the total ammo capacity was cut in half. All this is supposed to be justified with a slight damage increase, so slight it is not even worth anything.

Could be a low slot module, give Shield Tankers a lot of room to stay out on the field and continue hit-and-run style attacks. In fact, that'd be about perfect IMO. Armor Tankers are in it for the short term, taking damage and dealing it whereas Shield Tankers are able to continue an engagement for as long as they'd like. Like a really annoying vulture. Caldari Commando Snipers would be really interesting as well.
Yep. The Caldari Commando would be ridiculous but awesome.
It would most benefit the Assault class while helping the Caldari the most since they tend to have low ammo pools and a low rate of fire.
I actually remember one of my first ideas back in beta was a module that resupplied ammo. Everyone said it would be OP or would make logis redundant. Well, they were and still are wrong.

Make sure it's a high slot module, dingus. Make more modules that fit the highs.
