Well, I thought that I was using the automatic chaff system, not the manual one; certainly I had no pilon-mounted chaff packages installed. And I thought I received a 'no more chaff' message. But I am having trouble duplicating the situation, as I tend to get killed before exhausting the full amount of chaff. .

The chaff dispenser really DOES dispense chaff when empty

I've justed tested it. It kept on spewing out the chaff - repeatedly - despite their being, ostensibly, none left. I think I even got 'magazine empty' messages!

I've had it spit out chaff then say -1 remaining, then -2 remaining.
