Hello,

Oh wow, at first I thought you were referring to the Hyperblaster (its ammo type really is called "batteries"), but then I realised my mistake. It's the small blaster you begin the game with, right?

Well, technically, it doesn't have ammo. The symbol is just a graphical representation, so that it could be displayed on the HUD, or along with the other weapon types when you select them with the mouse wheel.

Maybe it shouldn't even have ammo mentioned in its infobox... that's how it's done for the Quake 2 blaster. I'll sleep on it ;)

BTW, nice to see someone who appreciates Quake 4. It got a lot of undeserved negativity, and this has always puzzled me because I have great fun with this game. I enjoy military sci-fi as a whole, and this is an excellent example of this genre.
