Re-arming Helicopters

[Crayolacrayon 10]

I have a simple question how do you go about re-arming helicopter door guns in Dayz? Do they reset their ammo on server restart or can you manually refill them because we have a stockpile of 240 ammo and couldn't find a way to load it in.

Once used it's used....

That's just disappointing so my friends and I didn't just win the game? We'll only get to look cool and get shot at?

OP don't listen to Venzire as it is completely incorrect.

After resets the ammo is topped up.

I suspect it might be possible to reload the gun as long as the ammo is carried in your inventory (not backpack). I am confident I have tried this myself on one occasion.

Well we tried every method of reloading it unfortunately we can't test if it refills on server restart because our server has the issue where vehicles don't save their location when the server is restarted. We just know where the helicopter spawns and log out with the items required to fix it upon the next server restart.

you can't reload it manually (not by any method i've tried) but it does replenish on server restart.

I'm sure they use m240 ammo, you just have to have additional m240 ammo in your inventory then get in the gunner seat.

Have you actually tried this before?
