Combine magazines

[golfer45]

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary): Allow transferring of ammo from one mag to another. Thus two half full 30 round mags could be combined to make one full mag and one empty

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole): Dont have to carry around 12/30 round mags, or throw them out.

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc): click on a mag with the mag you want to fill it with

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it):

Why is this not a thing yet

[Gentlemanly_headcrab]

+1 All my +1's go to this. I've had to throw out too many mags on the thought. 'It'll be too low to fight with only this many.' Plus it'll add in a bit of survival increasing for survivors to instead carry 3 mags with the same ammo and just pour it into one full mag of justice.

[RoswellRay]

+1 but it should have a short timer where you have to stand still.

[Surrealistik]

+1. Long overdue.

[Fritigern]

Also, give me an ammo box full of bullets I can click a magazine on to have it filled.

[forwardslashN]

I might do this. Actually reloading a mag is a pain in the ass though, especially transferring ammo.

[Wickedtemp]

+1, but it should probably have a 10-30 second "You are transferring ammo from one Mag to the other, hold still." or something. Nothing too long, but you wouldn't be able to unload and reload a mag so easily. That shit takes time RL.

[Sarah_U.]

Put the mag in a weapon vendor and see the magic occur.
But I +1 that and I'll make a box of ammo suggestion to go along with it.

Yes it takes about a few seconds for a trained millitary men to reload, more than enough

[KingKire]

+1 quality of life improvement, can be balanced around the time it takes. if your sitting at the front lines and have some spare time in the quiet before the storm, it makes sense to consolidate your ammo.

[Wubs4Scrubs]

+1

How could such a great suggestion be forgotten to time.

[Tristan63]

If it takes time, im all game +1.
The problem is if you try to combine AP and standard mags together.

[Steelpoint]

While low priority, but I would suggest doing what we have on /tg/ by letting people individually remove bullets from a magazine and then scoop them up with another magazine. This lets you empty magazines that are half empty or less and put all the bullets into one magazine.

[Biolock]

+1 Except there's no reason it should take a few seconds. Being instantanious would make it less of a pain, plus no one is gonna top off a mag in the middle of a firefight... well at least I wouldn't.

[Kerek]

oh god please.

I think it should take 3-4 seconds to transfer ammo, just enough time to cancel it if you click one mag with another by accident, but not too much so it's still a viable thing in a combat situation.

It's probably easy to make transfer from AP to standard impossible in the code.

Don't forget incedinary bullets!

[Boltersam]

This'll help a lot with reusing mags with low ammo, +1.

[Craftedminer]

+1

This would help reduce the stress on cargo, and makes the marines slightly more self-sufficient.
