In case you didn't know they also increased the amount of special ammo drops from PvE enemies. I agree it's a hard hit but at least they're trying to balance it out more. But to be honest, it's not that big of a hit because you can pick up more ammo. This could even be a good change, but we will all have to see how this plays out.

Picking up ammo doesn't counter the reduction in sustained dmg That's the thing. If they'd increased the dmg for snipers and shotguns (and maybe a slight dmg buff for fusions and Sidearms), that would have sufficed. Less ammo won't matter if you still do the same dmg.
