If the Shade’s or Saltz’s volley crossbows get ammo return on conservative shooter(and presumably others sources like scrounger) when you have 0 spare ammo then the weapon forces a reload and you can’t stop it unless you swap weapons. This seems to occur with any weapon that has more than one shot in a “magazine”(like Brace of Pistols).
Hmm, never really noticed that before, but then again, i pretty much only use Barrage or Hunter on my ranged weapons with a few exceptions here and there.
This was probably added because people complained their weapons didn’t automatically reload while they had ammo available (because they gained it from scrounger/conservative etc)
