Weapon Stats

 * Helldivers start with 4 magazines of Dum-Dum ammunition, and can carry up to 8. Each magazine contains 20 rounds. If 4 or less rounds remain in the magazine when the weapon is fired, the 'low ammunition' warning sound will play.


 * Reload time for a fully emptied magazine is 4 seconds; if reloaded while there are still rounds in the magazine, this drops to 3 seconds. In addition, this keeps a round in the chamber. This means a Dum-Dum with a chambered round gives a total of 21 shots before needing to be reloaded.
 * Reloading immobilizes the Helldiver for the duration.
