Yes, it’s a minor thing. I think it’s related to the fire mode changing after ammo change - The “attachments” have changed so the weapon resets everything.

Confirmed. As soon as -anything- changes regarding the attachments (attach, detach, swap out), the entire weapon resets to the default settings.

It’s not always a real problem but to call it a “minor thing” is just “too polite” and a bit of an understatement, in my humble opinion. :wink:

Having to re-configure your scope mid-fight after already frantically swapping the ammo can be quite deadly. Especially in the dark (which it, obviously, is most of the time).
