GPMG Tracer/Ball Loadout Discrepancy

Not a big problem but one easily rectified. On the Landies top GPMG ammo box it says that the ammunition loadout is 4 ball rounds to every tracer round when in fact the gun fires 2 ball rounds to every tracer round.

Is it actually firing 2:1 or just the audio cycling 2:1? Occasionally with some guns you hear one thing and the engine does something different. Spray a hill and count the eruptions between tracers.
This is most noticable firing a weapon in automatic mode and using trigger control to fire just one; you'll often HEAR it fire 2-3 whereas only 1 round was fired.

The rate of fire physically, matches the rate of fire you can hear. If you fire the weapon in single rounds at the side of a close object, you will see one red tracer round followed by two puffs indicating two ball rounds. The pattern repeats.
