Okay, now that the title got your attention, let me explain this a bit more in def. So a few days ago I was running around with my lowest level character who hasn't even reached level 20 yet, and I came across an uncommon sniper rifle with the "Shoot to Loot" perk. Now, I've never seen this perk before, but it enables you to pick up ammo just by shooting it. So I'll be sniping during a nightfall and bam... out of ammo. I see ammo across the map but it's right next to the boss, lucky me. Dang. And I don't really want to use a special ammo synth, so I just equip my amazing uncommon sniper rifle and I snipe that nice looking green ammo, and then my magazine is relieved of its hunger. (Found some heavy ammo nearby as well) Then I switched back to by regular sniper and repeated. Has anyone else been lucky enough to come across a weapon with this perk? It is such a blessing!

see the problem with your story is that if you run your sniper out then you wouldn't have any ammo to fire at the boxes :) just giving you a hard time. It is definitely useful for that and you can find that perk on some rare scout rifles too
