Marksman M4 ammo fits into normal M4's

Post by Durper » 14 Aug 2016, 07:32

Bug Description:
While Normal M4 can take in Marksman ammunition the Marksman Rifle can't load normal M4 rounds

Steps to reproduce:
1.Get Marksman ammo
2.load into normal M4
3.Fire M4 with Marksman ammo

Marksman ammo can pierce Crusher and Queen Exoskeleton and is very accurate even when in burstfire, with the combination of quickfire and grip the rifle becomes too effective.

I'm sure the Ammo is Universal among all M4 Variants since the clip is the same size and the bullets are also the same size and each M4 is essentially the same aside from stat differences and visual differences.

In IC it makes a lot of sense that the ammo should be interchangeable to both rifles but the marksman ammo that's loaded inside a regular M4 makes the gun far too effective against high tier Xeno

Crusher and Queen Exoskeleton can be pierced easily and most of the bullets will hit them accurately. On Burstfire with Quickfire and grip. This is not just a bug but a balance issue.

I suggest Renaming the ammo type to something else only meant for the M4 Marksman Variant.

All 10mm rifles should shoot the same ammo, because they are based on the MK2 (aside the heavy rifle). Though the marksman rifle being unable to take other 10mm ammo is an oversight I need to fix. I'm still thinking on what to do about it.

Edit: The marksman rifle will still take all regular 10mm ammo, but the marksman ammo will be restricted to it.
