Ammo entities #

Ammo entities share the ammo_ prefix in their name and same parameters.

The list of ammo entities #

• ammo_9mmclip
• ammo_9mmAR
• ammo_9mmbox
• ammo_ARgrenades
• ammo_buckshot
• ammo_357
• ammo_rpgclip
• ammo_gaussclip
• ammo_crossbow
• ammo_556
• ammo_762
• ammo_45acp
• ammo_57mm

There’s also the ammo_spore but despite sharing the classname prefix, it technically is not a pickup item.

ammo_45acp and ammo_57mm provide 45acp and 57mm ammo types which are not used by any weapon by default. The weapon can be made to use one of these ammo types via ammo_name property in the weapon template.

The entities use the same model as ammo_9mmAR. You can set custom model via Entity templates.

Example:

{
    "ammo_45acp": {
        "own_visual": {
            "model": "models/w_45acp.mdl"
        }
    },
    "ammo_57mm": {
        "own_visual": {
            "model": "models/w_57mm.mdl"
        }
    }
}
