[FEATURE] Infinity Replacement: Ammo Efficiency?

With 1.3 and the guns now using their own sets of enchantments, they can't use infinity outside of creative mode. After using them, I think they feel even stronger now despite not having power or infinity. Instead of just giving them infinite ammo with a new version of infinity, perhaps instead they could get a multi level enchantment that reduces how much ammo they use per shot with each level? For example, if it had 3 levels, each level could reduce the ammo used by 20% (just making up numbers, the percentage and number of levels could be anything). If the ammo used is below 1 it would then have a chance to use no ammo.
That could give them something somewhat similar to what infinity used to do, while still requiring bullets to be continually made (just less often with the enchantment), as I think total infinite ammo weapon with all the new powerful enchantments could be a little crazy.
Sounds cool, will look into it.
I couldn't find in the patch notes mentioning power and infinity were locked to creative.
I saw this:
"Guns:
Guns can no longer have bow enchants, and Punch & Flame no longer affects guns and Silver Bullets (Power & Infinity still work)
Infinity on guns makes them properly only need 1 bullet to fire and doesn't consume it either"
And then tried and couldn't; came here saw this thread - because yes indeed it does work in creative only - but I went back a few versions and couldn't see mention of creative only. To confirm it is intended infinity and power don't work in survival?
Back in the day, all bow enchants worked on guns, but ever since I decided to add my own gun enchants I removed that feature. I figured that many people still had guns enchanted with the old bow enchants though, so I just removed the feature to enchant them, but guns that still have the enchants still work. So if you go back a few versions, enchant a gun to have infinity, then upgrade back to the version today, the infinity enchant will still work on that gun, but you can't add the enchants to the guns in survival anymore.
There was another thread discussing how keeping infinity made the guns wayyy to broken (since they already are pretty broken right now), so this came up as a suggestion where instead of having flat out infinity, another similar solution could be added.
