* UniversalAmmo:
** A limited example in that the Lawgiver has a single ammo pool, which different firing modes deplete at different rates. Regular rounds give you 64 shots per magazine, while incendiary and explosive empty a magazine in just eight shots. Ricochet, armor-piercing and heatseeker fall in between.
** The same holds true for the Lawrod rifle, which has two modes: either it fires like an automatic rifle, or single shots in sniper mode which are much more damaging individually and get you much fewer shots per magazine.

* FeralVampires: While "Dracula"-style vampires do exist in the Judge Dredd universe, the vampires in the game are recently deceased humans who have been injected with Dr. Icarus's Pet Regen virus, regenerating their bodies (and giving them a fitness model's physique) but also causing their brains to revert to a feral animal state. When the virus infects a corpse whose brain has been dead too long to be restored at all, a zombie results.

** Heat-seeking rounds auto-track enemies but cost much more ammo per shot compared to regular or armor-piercing rounds.
** Incendiary rounds set their target on fire, which isn't really useful as doing so against undead enemies just means the zombie or vampire trying to claw your eyes out is now doing so while on fire, and setting criminals on fire tanks your law rating and is a good way to get the Special Judicial Squad on your ass.
** Explosive rounds do exactly that, but they cost a very large amount of ammo to use.
