Hi there @Varun_Aiyar

I’m not able to reproduce this at the moment. I’m using the Team Deathmatch game blueprint and set up a mesh with 100000 health using the steps from this page NUI - Entity Health Bar When previewing and shooting the mesh I can empty the clip, the gun reloads and then I can empty the next clip etc etc. I’m not having the gun be unable to shoot or reload. When I tried this using the gun game blueprint instead I found the shotgun made what sounded like an incorrect sound effect sometimes while firing, but I still didn’t encounter issues reloading or firing.

Are you able to supply a game example with this set up where the issue reproduces at all please? That way I can grab a copy and check it out.

Sorry for the late reply, I followed the steps I mentioned in this post and the bug was present.

Thanks Varun, I think I missed the part where it only occurs after the target is destroyed. I’ve reproduced this now and passed a report through for it to be looked into.
