mercenary starts each area with empty magazines

hello,

i just noticed that the mercenary character seems to empty all his magazines each time i enter a new area. i first noticed this in the "mastodon badlands", and i'm not sure if it affects all areas or just this one.

anyway, i'm not sure if this is a bug, or what the developers intended, but it's a bit annoying. i would prefer to see the mercenary start each area with full magazines, because who enters a fight without any ammo loaded in their weapon.

thanks.
