F-16 ammo count

In game the F-16 carries 512 rounds for its M61A1. This does not seem to be the case in real life as General Dynamics states that the F-16 carries 511 rounds and the Air Force says the F-16 carries 500. Changing this would change basically nothing but still, it would be nice to see.

We could but I’m emailing GD to see if the M61 is open bolt. If it’s closed then it could be 511+1 but if it’s open then it is just 511.
