Lock and Load: The Reassembled Machinist Guide

[xJimmehx]

Q1)
Should i use ammo for clean shot if i dont have reassemble? The guide says not to use it with clean shot but then says always pair ammo with clean shot+reassemble. So does this mean i need to only spend ammo on clean shot if i have reassemble on cooldown? I tried finding out myself with about 10 30 second bursts on the striking dummy and the results were very random but always close together. (Is 30 seconds too short with mch rng?)

I basically ignored everything except my ammo and split, slug, and clean shot because that is the only part at the moment that i wanted to test.
After using reload(V) i started with split(IV), used procd slug(III), used procd a clean(II) + reassemble, used quick reload (at III ammo again), used Split(II), then used procd slug(I), now have a proc for Clean but hold it because no reassemble, split(now becomes 0 ammo), If slug procs i use my clean shot that was previously procd, then use the slug shot, hoping to proc it and get another 200potency clean shot before ammo-less split shot til proc spam...Is this a bad idea compared to spending ammo asap(without reassemle available)?

Note:
3 times i did this without holding and it was higher average dps, but the highest i ever could get was this 1 time where i held cleanshot.
If you read the tooltip, it says clean shot with ammo gains 20 potency, but if you proc a slug shot it gains 80 potency...this is why i believe i should hold ammo..adding 20 potency over adding 80..

Q2)
If I save reassemble for clean shot procs, should i hold quick reload to pair with it or use quick reload on cooldown or would this be a dps loss? Its only on CD for 15 seconds, so maybe i should spend it 3 times(45s) and hold the last one for my next reassemble?
