If considering a character-exclusive special weapon, compare the Gatling Gun and Long Bow records for use restrictions, ammunition, and handling effects.
The item reference says upgrading capacity reloads the weapon to maximum for free. It describes ending a level with an empty gun before that upgrade as a way to gain ammunition, so capacity upgrades also affect loaded ammunition at the time of the upgrade.
The supplied reference ties the M93R, Hydra, Gatling Gun, Long Bow, and M500 unlocks to fully upgrading a specific predecessor weapon. Keep the named prerequisite in view when following one of these unlock paths.
The reference characterizes magnum ammunition as rare and recommends reserving magnums for difficult enemies or bosses. It therefore describes a limited-ammunition consideration for these weapons.

Edition and mechanic limits
Steam metadata establishes the released PC game’s identity and port and Gold Edition context, but does not establish weapon mechanics.
The Steam guide explicitly covers the main campaign and excludes hidden or DLC-mission-only weapons. These records do not cover all game modes or downloadable content.
Exact upgrade prices, complete stat tables, acquisition locations, patch behavior, and achievement requirements are not comprehensively covered here.
