📋 About This Mod
By default npcs have unlimited ammo. This makes them use ammo from their inventory. With it, npcs also start looting the dead for weapons and ammo, switch weapons as they run out and similar actions.
CURRENT VERSION: -------------------------------
NPCs UseAmmo v1-3 EDITION:Changes to More Ammo esp to balance out some issues with RCW ammo.

OLD VERSIONS ------------------------------------------------------------ NPCs UseAmmo v1-2 EDITION: Both esps inside with fixes for Miss Fortune. Extract one you wish to use. Delete/disable previous versions before using. ------------------------------------------------------------ MORE AMMO V1-1: Tweaked ammo amounts, made loot lists independent from NPC ammo lists. So NPCs should get more ammo without increasing ammo amount that can be found in containers. ------------------------------------------------------------ MORE AMMO Edition: Npcs will come with around 40-50 round for most automatic weapons (not a lot but didn't want to over do it) and about 20 round single shot type guns. In theory :)
PS: Any feedback is good feedback, so feel free to fire a few ideas and observations guys. Thanks in advance ;)
