Something else should be added: that the ammo cap (incorrectly) DOES NOT include what's in the current clip right now due to the "bug fix", even though it suggests it should - changing loadouts will set this straight by removing a clip's worth of ammo, and ammo refills will pickup but not add more to this "ghost clip". Basically they fixed it the wrong way. :L

Also it might be good to note that the "charge weapons" sub-class keeps to the same ammo limits as the class it's listed (eg charge pistols are considered pistols in most aspects).
