I think that the ammo stock for these three weapons should be different. Right now if you run out of one you can't use either of the three guns. Why is it the same lie that? Maybe LMG and assault rifle ammo the same but not smg.

Well there is only three bullet types. Pistols (150), snipers (50), and the assault/lmg (500) so if it used one of the other two types then the gun would become useless because you would get maybe 2-5 seconds of use out of the 50, and two reloads out of the 150.
IMO each gun type should have their own ammo, Pistol, Shotguns, Lmg, Smgs, ARs etc, having 3 guns use the exact same ammo when all 3 are essentally bullet hoses is a really dumb-*** design decision, smg's should have high ammo count to offset their low damage bullet spam.
I don't really get where they were going with the weapons...
3 different proficiencies with shotguns
1 for ARs, but there's Carbines, Battle Rifles, and Burst (and those Votan ones that have horrid damage).
1 for pistols, but we have machine pistols, which vary greatly from the others.
2 for Sniper Rifles
1 for Infectors, but there's several different versions of them.
I don't get why Semi-Auto Sniper Rifles, and every shotgun have a different proficiency, but different ARs, Infectors, and pistols were combined into one.
Yeah, SMG really should use pistol ammunition. Why not just up the carrying capacity of pistol ammo to 500 as well?
There's been a few threads on this, but not once has a mod commented on any of them to my knowledge.
Personally, I will say (again) that if there is any ammo needed to be shared at all:
LMGs & ARs should share
Pistols and SMGs should share (as a sub-machine gun's definition states it is a machine gun that fires pistol ammunition).
Pistol ammunition max capacitity should be upped to 500 (since pistol ammo is smaller and lighter there is no logical reason why we should be able to carry less rounds than we do AR/LMG ammo).
I agree, pistols and SMGs should share the same ammo, and LMGs and ARs. And there should NOT be 3 different skills of shotguns (Combat, pump, and sawed off). Same for snipers. It should be one skill per gun, doesn't matter what variation it is.
