You can have infinite amounts of valuable ammo by taking bullets out of a magazine, then restocking it.

Bug Description: The RO/CT can restock ammunition magazines in their ammo vendor to refill them to capacity. There is a mechanic that allows one to take a "bunch of bullets", usually seven or eight, out of a magazine. Combine these two features and you can constantly restock and empty such bunches of bullets to fill a bag full of rare ammo in bullet form to be placed into magazines in combat. For example, a sniper specialist may want to fill their bag with bunches of seven incendiary sniper rifle bullets, then when they run out of ammo in their incendiary magazine, they simply pick up the empty magazine, take two bunches of bullets, place them into the magazine, and can continue firing.

This is more an oversight than a bug.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Start with a full magazine of ammunition.
2. Take out the "bunches of bullets" from it by clicking it with an empty hand, and store them somewhere.
3. Restock the magazine and go back to step 1.

Then to reload:
1. Fire off your last magazine bullet.
2. Pick up the empty magazine and hold it in your hand.
3. Take one of the pre-prepared bunches of bullets and place it into the magazine and continue firing.

That's clever.

I don't like cute things.

Good hunting.

The con is ammo comes in handfuls of about ten and for most ammo must be loaded into a clip/magazine/please don't kill me gun nerds. You can restock machete sheaths for infinite machetes so i thing restocking in general needs to be looked at.

And holy shit is that a game breaker. But yeah, this is pretty much confirmed.
You will never be as bad as the baldie who picked up a tactical shotgun while a hunter was pouncing on top of a CMO for 4 seconds, with his only response being to pace around before being decap'd by said hunter. You are not Brett Kimple, and you never will be. You are not the reason why I regular MP.

Machete sheathes used to not be restockable, not sure when that changed. The ammo thing is a new one though.
