[1.7.10] special crafting recipe does not work, not sure what causes it

i made a new special crafting recipe (it has its own class instead of using the normal way of making crafting recipes) and the first times i tried it, putting the materials in the crafting slots would cause a crash, so it is being called properly, i know that for sure and i have another crafting recipe that works and is called the excact same way, but with different arguments and of course with a different class. after i fixed that i realized that it didnt produce anything at all as if i didnt have the crafting recipe there at all! my code is a mess and i cant figure out what i have done wrong. can anyone help?

public class RecipeWeaponReload implements IRecipe

private int ammoType;

private Item weapon;
private Item ammo1;
