Starting Capacity for these two is 18. Add 25% to 18 and you get 4.5, which gives me 4 more rounds total. The problem lies in the Proficiency 3% increase per level. One would think that adding 3% to the 25% increase I already have would be 28% right? Apparently the game adds the 3% from Proficiency to the original 18 ammo count, resulting in a .54 increase, or a big 0 to the total. Is this the intended way the skill is supposed to work? If so, perhaps a description change of said skill would be in order? I can always hope for a new skill to fix this for MD users when Uprising comes out.
That's not the way skills work in Dust/EvE
Individual skill levels are stacked (additive) [ don't confuse with module stacking penalty)
Multiple skills and/or modules are compounded (multiplication) [with stacking penalty for multiple modules effecting the same attribute]
So.
From LW Capacity, you get multiplier of
1 + (0.05 * 5) = 1.25
From LW Prof, you get multipler of
1 + (0.03 * 1) = 1.03
Final result should be: 18 * 1.25 * 1.03 = 23.175 rounded to 23
Note, this was never meant to give 25%+3%=28%, no.
It is in fact 1.25 * 1.03 = 1.2875 or 28.75%
However even with this maths, it is off by 1 compared to what you are saying you see in-game. Can you please confirm if you are seeing 22 or 23 in-game?
BTW, you can use this spreadsheet to verify how EvE/Dust maths works:

Quite likely. I've noticed (and bug-reported a few times) an issue where the CPU/PG in-game shows 1 less than what it should be. Even for numbers where there is no rounding, and only passive skills are applied, in-game we see 1 less. And only for some suits, for other suits it's correct...
Can you get the numbers with some other Light Weapons, just so we can see if it is consistently off?
