Negative (or infinite) Ammo Glitch?

[zephir]

I'm reporting this bug solely becasue I have a feeling if I don't it'll come back and bite me in the ass.

Negative ammo Glitch:


I experienced it three times today in the past 5 hours (I went AFK for a bit), on Wildwood AoS. Map is Bridge Wars (severely griefed)
I actually joined the server yesterday, dug a huge hole on the green side of the map, switched windows and did something else and forgot the quit the game. Today after work I came to my computer and realized I left the client application running and I've been AFK for 18 hours!

Anyway, I switched sides and started on a L-shaped hole on the blue side. At one point I started shooting the blocks rather than use the spade and it happened- instead of the gun clicking empty after 30 rounds, the ammo counter went negative and I had infinite ammo! I couldn't reload, and resupplying at the CP did not affect the negative ammo. Bullets wouldn't break blocks but I found out it'll kill enemy players.

Wildwood AoS server is pretty messed up in my experience, while there's not much lag I constantly double jumped, every time I threw a grenade there's 2 that comes out, and I can fall pretty far (2x the distance) without getting hurt. And when there is lag, often times I'd fall right thru the map to the bottom, unbreakable layer. I dunno if this is a server problem or an actual problem with the game. Also often times I'd teleport someplace and fall to my death or get hurt/killed doing nothing.

While having infinite ammo is cool, I'm sure if I experienced this glitch on other servers and used it to my advantage eventually someone would call me a hacker... and it'll end badly for me.

I retain infinite ammo/negative ammo count even after switching to spade or lying a few blocks.
I only loose it if I die.

a couple screens:


the huge hole I dug on the green side

First time it happened negative 90 bullets

negative 251 bullets


The second time it happened I didn't take any screenshots

The third time it happened I decided to let the number grow-



Then I decided to take a shower and come back- see where it goes...

Yes, that's 3 MILLION rounds!

And the final one- I wanted to watch my anime and trying to get the two to work but it didn't -

messed up my computer's Vista Aero settings and got the screen contrast screwed up.
then someone finally found where I was and killed me, I think final count was something like -3,146,000.

So, infinite ammo? Could you kill other people with it? If that's the case, that's pretty, uhh, stupid.

What.

stupid? well more like an exploit that could be, well, exploited!
imagine if I got near or behind enemy spawn. I let them spawn, move around, them just mow them down. or on maps like pinpoint, I just spray bullets across the map. kill the other team. while you can't see beyond the fog, the bullets still go across the map. heck I can do that in every map. no skill kills. just spray n pray, with any luck you kill everyone.

the only issue is what exactly causes it, that I haven't been able to pin down.
but now that people know it can happen, well someone's bound to figure it out.

Did you try killing yourself? Did you check what would happen if you did?

Bridge wars is only bad because the map is never reset.
Also why didn't ou just kill yourself
