100% chance not to consume ammo?

So...
I was thinking:
Chain Gun, Gatligator, Megashark and maybe more have 50% chance not to consume ammo.
Plus shroomite 20%, that's 70%
Plus ammo box, 90%
And then ammo reservation potion, that's 110% chance not to consume ammo!
Am i wrong?
 
To mathematically expound, with the values you've given:
50% from gun
60% in shroomite (20% of the remaining 50% is +10%)
68% with ammo box on top of that (looks like 20% again there, which gives +8% because 20% of the remaining 40%)
75.% with the potion (another 20%, you've got 32% left, so +6.4%)

Still not horrible with everything, but you can quickly see how little each extra item is worth when stacked on top of everything else.

Ooh so you need literally 100% chance from one object to never consume ammo
 
I'd like to mention that there's as much of a difference between 98% and 99% as there is between 0% and 50%: your ammo will last, on average, twice as long. So, a 20% chance not to consume ammo will, as I understand it, be just as effective with or without a chain gun.
 
I didn't know that's how it works. Pretty neat to know.

Also, we'll most likely never ever get an item that grants 100% chance not to consume ammo. It would be a little bit too op. :p
