True Infinite Ammo for M60

Fooling around with scripts, searching for a way to give infinite ammo to the M60 and I found it. Thanks, weapon_chainsaw.txt!

Since I am a generous person, I shall share with you (those still playing and modding L4D2) a gem.

The key to infinite ammo:

After extracting your favorite M60 script, open "weapon_rifle_m60.txt" in Notepad(++) and change the "clip_size" "150" line to "clip_size" "999999999" (12 9s) and ADD THE FOLLOWING LINE JUST BELOW "clip_size" line that you just edited:

"ITEM_FLAG_NOAUTORELOAD" "1"

Save "weapon_rifle_m60.txt" and repack your addon with VPK Packer. DONE!

!!!!!!!!NOTES!!!!!!!!!
No need for reload anim, cuz reloading is skipped entirely!
No need to change ammo type to Pistol or Pistol_Magnum for infinite reserves!
This will work with game_mode.txt edits giving "infinite reserves" for the M60 (those adding "ammo_M60_max -2" line), in which case "999" will show under the main bullet counter ("250").
When the M60 is picked up, after adding this to your addon, the bullet counter may show "0". Fire off a round, the counter recycles to "250" and will cycle down to "0" and keep cycling as long as you hold the trigger (from 250 to 0, 250 to 0, and so on). If you have your script for M60 with Pistol or Magnum ammo for infinite reserves, the reserve counter will never cycle away from "999". If you do not have infinite reserves script edits (game_mode.txt or weapon_rifle_m60.txt), only the main bullets count shows, cycling down from 250. Either way, this edit works for infinite ammo in a true sense.

Sample on default m60 script, search for "sxorpiologix" to find the lines easily:
