Summarize your bug Masterkey underbarrel attachment incorrect ammo count when spawning with 40mm Grenade Launcher as primary attachment.
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Step 1: Select a gun that can equip the Masterkey underbarrel attachment (For example AK-24 or LCMG) Step 2: Put the Masterkey attachment in the second or third slot for the Plus Menu. Step 3: Spawn with a 40mm grenade launcher as the primary underbarrel attachment. Step 4: After spawn, use the plus menu to switch to the Masterkey attachment. Step 5: Observe that the ammo count for the mastery key now reads 01/02 just like a 40mm launcher.
What happens when the bug occurs? When this bug occurs the Masterkey attachment is loaded with ammo as if it is a 40mm grenade launcher. One round is chambered, with two in reserve. However, the masterkey attachment is a revolver loaded underbarrel shotgun. Its proper ammo count should be 6/12 with 6 rounds ready to go and 12 in reserve.
What should be happening instead? The masterkey attachment should be properly loaded with 6 rounds and 12 in reserve.

This bug has been in the game since launch, I keep expecting this to get fixed with every patch but I'm always disappointed. 
It makes the attachment useless if you're also running with 40mm grenade launchers. Though if you spawn with a grip or with the masterkey as primary it will not occur.
It will also not occur if you re-spawn with the masterkey equipped because you had it equipped before death.
The bug only seems to occur if you spawn with a 40mm GL and then switch to the masterkey in your second or third slot.

To further illustrate this bug I have also uploaded a short video to youtube which you can view here: https://youtu.be/SYpYMvrxv94 

Thank you 🙂
