"Carry extra ammo for heavy weapons" stat broken on armor?
I did a couple different setups with Corrective Measure machine gun and seems like all armor that adds more ammo for heavy weapons is broken... Corrective Measure gets 100 round clips + 200 reserve ammo (300 rounds total) with the Field Scout perk active. Equip a piece an armor that adds extra ammo for heavy weapons with the Field Scout perk and you get ONE extra round. Thinking maybe this was a glitch with combining Field Scout and the armor extra ammo perk I switched to another perk. Without Field Scout the machine gun holds 58 rounds in the clip and and 142 reserve ammo (200 rounds total). Equip a piece of armor that adds extra ammo for heavy weapons and you get FIVE extra rounds... Obliviously there is something wrong with using machine guns with ammo increasing armor. I just got my last piece of raid gear, which was boots, and don't want to use them cause the stat is worthless. Add this to your list of things to fix Bungie.
Oh, and patch the ghost that is glitched and doesn't appear so I can find all of them >.<

Unless you work for Bungie, all you're responses are theories. Saying because it's the corrective measure and it has the max ammo you can hold when upgraded is obviously FALSE because when the Field Scout perk isn't on, that increases max ammo, you get an extra 5 ammo with the armor ammo bonus. That puts you at 205, up from 200. If max ammo is 300, which you're saying the corrective measure hits the ammo cap when upgraded, the armor bonus would give more than 5 more rounds. With regards to fire rate/impact, yes, normally the higher fire rates have lower impact with machine guns. However, I don't see how that has to do with the ammo increase perk from my gear. In this case it still seems that 1-5 extra ammo for a machine gun is a joke. I've only tested this with the Corrective Measure so far. I think it's the only machine gun i've got with the field scout perk. I'll test it with the others that I have and post the results.

It's because the corrective measure has the max amount of ammo you can hold once upgraded through the one it comes with.

Had the same problem with corrective measure. With Gjallerhorn though it gives me 7 rockets instead of 5, which we all know is the only worthy weapon in the game lol

The amount of ammo you get extra seems to depend on a certain factors like Fire Rate/Impact (DPS). A machine gun with insane fire rate always has quite the low impact but gets a lot of ammo in reserve.
