So, what happens if (Destiny)

What if they keep percentages separate from actual armor capabilities? I.e. have percentages go over 100% and have max possible percentage also stored as a separate value.

That way, it is stored, for example, you have 120% heavy ammo of current gun with a 150%-capable armor. You switch back to a 110%-capable armor. Since it blows the cap, your ammo is reduced to 110%. Now, I can't see anymore problems with it than this expected ammo-depletion (which is fair, imho), but I'd be glad to hear any criticism from you guys.
