Ammunition (no ontology)

From Mazeworld

Revision as of 15:16, 9 June 2015

When using firearms and certain other weapons, you will certainly need to supply them with ammunition. Ammunition comes most commonly at random, through the contestant's progress, but may also be bought at gun shops and weapon shops, as well as salvaged from dead enemies.

In rarer cases, it is also possible to find one of the three variants of ammo caches. Each of them respectively gives the equivalent of one (the Mixed Ammo Box), two, and five (the Ammo Caches) full magazines for every weapon carried by the contestant, except spare weapons.

Ammunition can be classed in different categories: cartridges (bullets), shotgun shells, heavy ordnance, non-firearm ammunition, and weapons that are themselves ammunition (such as in the case of the ballistic knives.)

Ammunition can be either found at random, bought in relevant shops (Gun shop, weapon shop), or extracted from found weapons.

Randomly found ammunition will also have a random ammunition type, where applicable. Shotgun shells may be found in any type as well. The amounts may vary between a few loose rounds, to retail boxes (again, the amount found inside a box is random, but usually higher than lone, loose ammo), to entire bulk cans, which can contain several retail boxes' worth.

Special notes

• 12 gauge weapons can be loaded with any type of 12 gauge shell interchangeably, except 12 gauge belted (CAWS) which can only be fired from the Heckler ＆ Koch CAWS.
• Revolvers chambered in certain "mother" calibers may also be interchangeably loaded with certain "daughter" calibers which are smaller but of otherwise similar dimensions. Among the available calibers in the Mazes are the following possibilities:
  • .357 Magnum revolvers can shoot .38 Special.
  • .454 Casull revolvers can shoot .45 Colt.
  • .460 Rowland revolvers can shoot .45 ACP.
  • 10mm Auto revolvers can shoot .40 S＆W.
• Certain specific firearms also benefit from similar interchangeable loading rules:
  • Marlin Model 1894C: A .357 Magnum lever-action carbine, it can also be interchangeably loaded with .38 Special rounds.
  • Taurus Rossi M92: A .454 Casull lever-action carbine, it can also be interchangeably loaded with .45 Colt rounds. If the Rossi M92 is loaded exclusively with .45 Colt rounds, it can load 1 extra round (Capacity becomes 10+1 instead of 9+1)

Self-munitions

Those are Class 5 weapons that are depleted or discarded after being thrown or fired a certain amount of times (usually once, unless listed otherwise), because the weapon breaks or simply cannot be used more than once in this manner. It is recommended to have multiple amounts of those weapons. Those weapons remain usable an unlimited amount of times in melee.
NOTE: Keep in mind that all weapons can technically be thrown, and that if it does not appear on the following list, can be picked up again later.

• Ballistic knife (One-use only when fired)
