asw_weapon_ammo_bag

Not to be confused with asw_weapon_ammo_satchel.

This entity is not in the stock FGD files by default. It should not be placed (in Hammer) because you should use the pickup entity.

Code classes:

• CASW_Weapon_Ammo_Bag
• CASW_Weapon (weapons)
• CBaseCombatWeapon (weapons)
• CBaseAnimating (models)
• CBaseEntity (all ents)

asw_weapon_ammo_bag is a point entity present in Alien Swarm. The ammo bag is an unused weapon that lets a marine give another one a full clip of ammo. The holder simply needs to be close to the other marine, and then click on them. An ammo bag will explode violently if exposed to fire. The holder apparently cannot give theirself ammo, but this was planned.

The ammo bag can only carry ammo for a few types of weapons, and can only give limited ammo:

• asw_weapon_rifle: 5 clips
• asw_weapon_autogun: 1 clip
• asw_weapon_shotgun: 10 clips
• asw_weapon_vindicator: 5 clips
• asw_weapon_flamer: 5 clips
• asw_weapon_pdw: 5 clips
• asw_weapon_pistol: 5 clips
