Unlimited ammo?

[optionism 28]

Why is it that when you play like at night or when you have a shotgun, with shotgun ammo, and sometimes you use some flares and some slugs, and then you exit your game or switch servers, the ammo or flares that you used up come back, it's like having infinite ammo. I believe this may be a bug/glitch, but thought I'd share this.

Server doesn't save what you just done, same with if you picked up items and left the server to quickly.

Not really. For whatever reason, Arma 2's engine doesn't allow half magazines or single bullets to be assigned. The command is simple, addMagazine "magname" "amount", and there is no way (that I know of) to set how many bullets are in the magazine. So, unless you use all of the ammo in your magazine and it disappears, the hive automatically hands you a full magazine.

I find its a above half or nothing thing. Any mags below half disappear, and any above refill. I messed around with it trying to reproduce what I could for a bug report.
