Ammo Costs
By Mike Russell
Living to tomorrow requires a fight every so often. Living longer
means fighting as little as possible. That lowers the risk of dying
at the hands of a slobbering geek. Less fighting means lower ammo
consumption -- always a good thing. Still, sooner or later, ol' Betsy
is going to run out of slugs (or shells or bullets or what-have-you).
At that point, you are going to have to get some more. Finding them
is the best solution but paying may be required. Below are listed
some suggested prices for ammo. Remember, the more chaotic
civilization is, the higher these prices will be.

All ammo is commonly available (C).
Hollowpoint ammo multipies the cost by 50% and subtracts 25% from EV.
It is uncommon (U).
Armor-piercing ammo multiplies the cost by 5 and is rare (R). EV is
unchanged. AP ammo is available in 9mm, .45, 5.56mm, 7.62mm, .50, and
even in 12-gauge slug. Most military issue ammunition (5.56mm, 7.62mm,
and .50) has a steel core bullet and is armor-piercing.
