When filtering ammo slots, all ammo items are shown in the filter selection menu, regardless of ammo type:


But selecting the wrong ammo type gives you a "Can't do that" style message. If you have a lot of additional mod ammo, which may or may not be in a useful order, you then have to hunt among them for ones which fit the slot.

Empty ammo slot tooltips do show the list of items that go in the slot so I feel like the game shouldn't be offering the wrong ammo type as a potential filter only to then say "nope" when you select one.

Thanks for the report, I am surprised nobody has mentioned it before

I have fixed it for vehicles and spiders for the next release

Characters and players are little bit trickier (and messier), so I might leave them for 1.2 depending on how I feel about it
