Loading Ammo

[kradarak 23]

I'm not 100% that this is a bug, so I figure a suggestion is an excellent way to start.  If you're paranoid as I am in the jungle, I like to make sure I have maximum ammo in my gun at all times.  If I were to shoot a few rounds from my mosin or my shotgun, why don't I have an option to add more ammo?  I can understand that with clips, taking them out is what you have to do to get to the ammo, but with a mosin or mp-133, you just add more shells no matter how many you already have in there.

 

When I try to add ammo, it says it's full.  It's clearly not full.  I'd like to see a way of adding ammo to certain guns without ejecting it.  I have the whole routine down pretty well.  Leave an empty space, eject, load ammo, combine.  I also think it would fit the balance better with the guns that have clips as well.  There is a reason those guns have clips and these don't.  These aren't semi automatic/automatic guns.  I think adding ammo should be an option for non-clipped guns.

This is not really a bug, more of an engine limitation which will be overcome eventually. I actually made a post about this (and some related topics) here http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/224776-changes-to-the-reloading-system/

You really threw me off for a minute there.

When you're talking specifics, make sure you call magazines magazines and not clips.

 

Here I have my SVT40 with the magazine attached. I can load it with a clip whenever.

 

 

You're right though, apart from ejecting an unfired cartridge when you'd open the bolt to load more cartridges into the mosin, I'd like to simply be able to top them off too.

Good point...
