ammo-sentry or sentry-ammo?

[MassiveFire]

So I have just discovered the crack cocain that is the sentry gun. Now I have the choice of do I want the ammo bag or the sentry gun as my primary.

If I go with sentry-ammo setup (primary-secondary), I get 4 sentries and 1 normal-sized ammo bag. I also get to save anywhere from 3-9 skill points on the extra lead skill

If I go with ammo-sentry, I get 2 sentries and 2 ammo bags. If I also put in another 6 skill points for the ace version of extra lead, those ammo bags will be extra large.

So which one do you guys recommend me use? My gun setup right now is the amr-16 with dmr mod and the matever revover (expecting to upgrade to the parabellum pistol aka the luger soon) so I more or less need to have ammo packs.

you should probably go with Ammo-sentry, since you need the ammo, both for the guns, and the sentry placements

also the AMR-16 with DMR kit is the worst DMR in the game. The stats are pretty bad overall, but the ammo pickup is the worst in the game for DMRs. Use the Galant, or Gewehr 3 DMR, those 2 got the best ammo pickup in the game. And maybe get Fully Loaded ACED if you pick ammo bags anyways.

bruh with skills and the quadstack mag I can play the amr-16 dmr without reloading

quadstack=60 round mag
that skill=+15 to mag

the max ammo cap for the amr is 72

Neither. Not using ammo bags. Getting a weapon with high enough pickup to sustain you and sentries. What is your secondary?

[Meredith K Pseudonym]

Personal opinion is Sentry-Sentry. Just take a grenade launcher or a Clarion or a JP36 or something and let the sentries do most of the work. Scavenger Ace is easily more valuable to you than an ammo bag.

If I had to choose one or the other, Sentry-Ammo. Once you're down to two sentries, you might as well not have put 40+ points into that tree and built something else.

Magsize does not matter when you pick up 8 from 15 boxes ammo instead of 20 from 15 boxes. And the Galant has a 1.5 sec reload time, with the mag of 22 rounds. Is that too much for you?

Where do you get that from?
Galant has 0.49-1.46 and AMR-16 has 0.45-1.58 pickup.

Figured that was weird. I run my AMR-16 on full auto with my armor build and I don't encounter much ammo problems at all.

From experience, I'd say the Cavity 9mm is the worst or maybe the Golden AK.762. Not sure about the ammo pickup but that's what I felt when I tried all the DMR rifles.

False

Get fully loaded aced + sentries and run gl-40 + china lake and you will never EVER run out of ammo for your sentries. When you pick them up you get at least 1 shot back (depending on remaining sentry ammo pool) for your gl40 and when you place them back down you lose said ammount again but back to 100% ammo on the sentry gun. Just pick them up before they run out of ammo so you get a gl-40 round back. You won't need a single ammo bag for a whole heist this way. And get javelins to deal with the dozers.
