Newbie or not, the use of punctuation makes your posts much more readable. This is a forum and no online chat, you have all the time you need to make proper sentences.

I tried 2 times now to understand what you want, it's just one huge sentence which doesn't makes sense to me.

From what I can gather, he can't pick up ammo for the launcher or his M203 GL. It does the animation but no ammo is actually being picked up. I've never bothered with the boot camp so I can't be of any more help. Sorry....well besides the obvious of trying it without any mods activated.

OP, did you check your gear (G button) and click reload..

Knocking others for no punctuation seems odd, when you write sentences as bad as your second one there..

Schooling was a gift, or perhaps its lost in translation, who knows..

When you write/speak german as well as W0lle speaks/writes english, you may complain. ;) And if you already do, i'm sure you get the point.

Proper punctuation, or at least trying to do, is another topic and should be doable even for non-english natives. At least they could try.

Ahn... have you tried the "R" key for reload? As I understood, you got the weapon, you got the ammo, but then nothing happens. You should load the ammo into the weapon.

It's either that or the "F" key to cycle through weapons/fire modes.

One better place to search might be youtube. There are tons of videos depicting Arma 2 basics, basic controls etc., maybe by seeing someone else do it you can spot what you're doing wrong.

Lastly, the thread could have used a more informative title... :rolleyes:
