Out of nowhere this unlimited ammo Weapon is now consuming ammo. Anyone care to explain what's going on here. I loaded up numerous save games trying to find a place when it still had unlimited ammo. Even those earlier savegames where that weapon had unlimited ammo no longer does. I am now at the point where I have to get the weapon for the first time again.

nowhere does it say, nor did it ever have, "unlimited ammo" It says unlimited AMMO CAPACITY, which means you never have to reload.

First several hours the clip capacity never dropped below 999.

that is because you had more then 999 ammo, but it only shows 999 until you get below that.

Haha, he probably had more than a thousand round and always saw the 999 in the ammo counter.

Then I feel like an idiot for shooting at pointless crap wasting ammo.
