Pistol Ammo Mutation is a pistol mod that converts any unused Primary Ammo into Secondary Ammo. The affected pistol will only convert ammo while equipped, and will not convert any ammo type used by holstered primary weapons until their own ammo is full.
Converted ammo is denoted by a 
symbol. The final amount of ammo restored is rounded to the nearest integer.

Tips[]
- Highly recommended for ammo-inefficient secondaries such as the
Dex Furis or the Azima. - Functions well with Sentinel's Vacuum or Chesa Kubrow's Retrieve, which automatically collect unused ammo as needed.
Bugs[]
- Despite the description stating otherwise, Rifle ammo will always give 3 ammo. This is true for all non-Primed, type specific ammo mutations.
