Kinetic dash - can reload when at full (only with Shiv?) or extra ammo

[steventheeven3]

After using kinetic dash, even when at full ammo, you can press R and it will reset your ammo and fire rate, you can even hear the reload sound. If you try doing it while hearing the reload sound you can't reset it, but afterwards it works again - This only happens with shiv for some reason? but I haven't tested all heroes.

Regardless of hero, if you shoot, say, one bullet, you are allowed to reload your weapon and reset the ammo and fire rate. This actually reduces your ammo size. I think it should give extra ammo like vampiric burst so you can't reload until you've used the extra ammo.

To add to this: having any % ammo from items, along with kinetic dash, seems to increase your max ammo multiplicatively when using kinetic dash

As a result, if you own kinetic dash and, for example, extended mag, you can instantly reload after jump-dashing, which can remove the entire bonus effect from kinetic dash instantly.

After further testing: it's characters with alt fires.

Shiv, Yamato and Viscous can reload instantly after activating Kinetic Dash, before shooting any bullet, and they lose the bonus instantly
