Difference between weapon clip ammo and weapon ammo?

[Steve Stacey]

Hi

 

Apologies if posting in wrong forum etc.

 

Am using Liberty save editor and notice that I can max out both these settings for primary and secondary weapons etc. Each goes to 32767 but I notice that the weapons ammo always shows 0 when you restart your mission.  If you run your modded save through Liberty it shows weapon clip ammo as 32767 but weapon ammo as 0.

 

Is there a reason for this?

 

Am I missing something?

 

Thanks for your time.

Whilst I have no idea what you are talking about here, I can tell you the difference between Ammo and Ammo Clip.

Ammo is the Ammunition required to make your weapon do its job, such as bullets.  Ammo clip, which are barely used anymore, as they are replace by Magazines, although some Magazines actually contain a clip, which defeated the object of a Magazine.

Magazine is just basically a box with a spring in it pushing up the Ammunition in to the breach of the weapon.

 

In short, a clip holds Ammo.  Which has been replaced by a Magazine.
