Yes, but if it wasn't updating ammo when you apply the attribute on the weapon until you regenerate the player, why would applying it to the player be any different?

It worked for me when I equipped players with weapons from different classes.
I'm too busy to go into the details but basically what I did was apply the "primary max ammo" attribute to the player.

EDIT: I looked up what exactly I did back then:

Quote:

new ammoType = GetEntProp(primaryWeapon, Prop_Send, "m_iPrimaryAmmoType");

SetEntProp(clientID, Prop_Send, "m_iAmmo", 200, _, ammoType);

Good point, although I'm pretty sure taunts aren't included anymore...still, I guess 10 times wouldn't be ideal

Ex: "tf_weapon_scattergun"

TF2Attributes, if that's not what you're already using, won't touch the attributes that the weapon comes with (unless you want it to)
