Just grabbed the latest stand alone version, so Version 1.1.0. Running on an amd64 Gentoo Linux box. 

When, in game, I reload the gun if at full ammo, the clip counter goes down, but obviously I don't gain any ammo. It doesn't look like the counter will go negative, thus giving me the actual number of clips I have, so I think you will lose ammo by reloading before being at full empty.

I don't know if this is a feature, not a bug, but there we go.

Pretty sure it's a feature.. Like, from a normal gun, you eject and either save or discardthe clip no matter how many bullets are left in it. If you're a good strategist, you use all of your ammo, and don't reload randomly. I suppose you can say the same thing for energy weapons and "batteries," but.. that's just a cop-out answer. 

If ammo wasn't discarded, someone could buy a gun, reload until it's all maxed out (0 clips and, in he case of a shotgun, 210 rounds) and never have to stop firing to "reload."

Yup, feature.
