If other scab gangs are like me, ammo is a problem. It is the biggest reason most take out borrowed cars I think. One solution is to raise the drop rate, but this may remove some of the grit of scavenger. Another thought is using the partial clips in guns, I think there has been a thread on this, but I can't find it. I think the reason was that partial clips were not easily managed on server end. Anyhow, what I thought was a button near the 'trash' that would be 'attempt to strip ammo'. This would destroy the item (like breaking down) and give you a chance to get a full clip of its ammo, modified by remaing ammo in weapon, weapon condition, mechanical rating,...etc. not a guaranteed but a chance that it breaks down to an ammo clip. This does a few things, one it helps the ammo issue, two it gives a use for low quality weapon strips, three it inspires people to keep hauling home this major banged up cars weapons.

I think this is a pretty good idea, and would hopefully be easy enough for Sam to implement.

He could even secretly adjust the percents chances of getting the clips in the background until it was just right amount of ammo and none of us would be any the wiser.
