For what on earth do you need 2 bytes for ammo count?

Some guns do have over 255 ammo.

This is starting to sound like X-Com in 2D. Not that I’m complaining.

Picking up clips? I’m all for this.

Will the character hold onto the clip if its not fully used? or will the character discard the unused ammo making for realistic but faster ammo depletion?

Excellent idea. It should be upto the player whether to discard the ammo or not. I think double tapping reload button should make the soldier discard the ammo for faster reload. Later you can pickup the clip again (if you’re still alive).

FinDude: seems pretty much like what I’m upto.

Guns dont kill people, logical fallacies regarding videogames do.

Sounds pretty nice, Cortex Command for example has, in pseudo-code mod script:

AddClip = SMGClip
Bullet = SMG Bullet Particle

AddWeapon = SMG
Clip = SMGClip

Very nice, sound extremely expensive though, im sure you’ll work something out.
