As noted above, you have to equip them in your Utility Slot, normally used by the Ammo Package.

Strange as this is, any time you have something other than the Ammo Package in your Utility Slot, you can pull out your Turrret (which is actually your Ability Slot) and then hit your "change fire mode" key (default "b") and it will switch to your Ammo Package even though you didn't select it in the loadout screen.

This is strange because the turret is your Ability slot, whereas the Ammo Package and/or Mines are your Utility Slot, yet somehow it's the Ability slot where you hit the change fire mode key to swap to the ammo pack. This is also why I kept seeing this everywhere and thought people were just trolling the newbies - but yes, this DOES work.
