     Now that you mention it, you're quite right.  My (former,
unfortunately) gaming group was mostly US Army officer cadets (and one
butterbar ;-) ).  I could often take up an entire night of gaming with
getting them re-equipped with ammo, since they usually had their ammo
custom-made, using one of their original rounds as a sample.  They
never even *tried* to find compatible ammunition on the open market.
Depending on the local law level (and other factors), this activity
could often result in interesting things happening.  One time, they
had to fight their way out of a large city--but that's another story...
