Just a copy-over from a discussion on Doomworld, here...

Using the method Scuba Steve described or with Ammo Use = 0?
How about fractional ammo use, hmm? I still wanna fire two pistol shots simultaneously but only take 1 bullet to do it. I still want to have a convincing sniper rifle. I still want double-density single-shotgun shells by firing two blasts but using one shell. I still want to use fast-firing energy weapons that don't represent their ammunition as shots remaining, but "percentage" out of 100, counting down 1 per, say, 10 shots, using ammo use = 0.1. You could then set max ammo for that weapon to 100, but you'd actually be getting 1000 shots.(That method would also allow you to eliminate the greater-than-999-ammunition-can't-display-as-anything-but-999 issue).
All in all, I believe fractional ammo use would be QUITE useful. I believe the suggestion was ignored in the past, so I'll just bump the hell out of this thread until Randy posts.
NOT WORTH DOING? THIS particular change is seems like one that shouldn't be too hard to implement... change whatever the ammo counts are stored as to floating-point instead of integer, for display or reporting what the ammo is for checkinventory and the HUD just always round to the higher whole-number...
This is an IMMENSELY great expansion to modding ability.
I wouldn't really consider this a feature request, though, because it IS more like a fix, to me at least, because it provides what seems like it should be a possible result of tweaking with the ammo use values in dehacked.
Well I have a ritual of giving myself a new occupation on all the forums I visit (Professional Marmoset, Underwater Skylight, Part-time Bigbird, Underage Necromancer), and I thought I should start giving myself a different avatar too. I use this one on another forum:

Did you draw that? That's quite cool. Funnily enough my Sister and Girlfrind draw in Anime style... I've got a link to their elf wood galaries if your interested .
If you like that stuff, then you will like these . My girlfriend loves furs. I'm more a Sci-fi person though, my imagination is way out in space . I'm a musician however... I can probably draw, probably could be quite good too, but I never practice... however, it is a skill that I someday wish to work on .
Elfwood's pretty cool. I get pictures there sometimes. I can't draw though, no.
My brother used to have things on there before he passed away, but it's gone now (just shows a 404). Not sure how long it's been gone, but I guess it was a long time back.
. Wait till Zdoom2 is final, then hump the hell out of randy for new features (did I say hump?
