This glitch is extremely dangerous to solo survivalists or smaller groups. I have no magazine for my three handguns (still don't understand why magazines are nearly impossible to find -- I've looted two military bases and the best I found was an AKM with no magazine) and was running low on ammunition for my Mosin, thus I would prefer to use my fire-ax. Using the fire-ax also reduces noise. However, melee seems to now be ineffective causing me to waste ammunition and run alot.
