🎯 Tips & Tricks
Make sure to check the mod's compatibility with your current Project Zomboid version, as it hasn't been updated since 2022.
In-game, test reloading with a partial magazine to see the drop behavior — it can leave magazines on the ground, so keep an eye on your inventory.
If you're using other gun mods, load this one after them to ensure the chamber mechanic works correctly.
