When using firearms and certain other weapons, you will certainly need to supply them with ammunition. Ammunition comes most commonly at random, through the contestant's progress, but may also be bought at gun shops and weapon shops, exchanged for items at the pawn shop, as well as salvaged from dead enemies.

In rarer cases, it is also possible to find one of the three variants of ammo caches. Each of them respectively gives the equivalent of one (the Mixed Ammo Box), two, and five (the Ammo Caches) full magazines for every weapon carried by the contestant, except spare weapons.

Ammunition can be classed in different categories: cartridges (bullets), shotgun shells, heavy ordnance, non-firearm ammunition, and weapons that are themselves ammunition (such as in the case of the ballistic knives.)

Special notes:
12 gauge weapons can be loaded with any type of 12 gauge shell interchangeably, except 12 gauge belted which can only be fired from 12 gauge belted firearms.
Revolvers chambered in .357 Magnum may also be interchangeably loaded with .38 Special rounds.
Revolvers chambered in 10mm Auto may also be intterchangeably loaded with .40 S＆W Rounds.

Bullets

Shotgun shells

All variants of 12 gauge
12 gauge belted for the CAWS

Heavy ordnance

Non-firearm ammo

Arrows for Bow
Crossbow bolts
Nailgun nails
Pepper spray charges (up to 50 per can)

Self-munitions

Those are Class 5 weapons that are depleted or one-use only after being thrown or fired, because the weapon breaks or simply cannot be used more than once in this manner. It is recommended to have multiple amounts of those weapons. Those weapons remain usable an unlimited amount of times in melee.
NOTE: Keep in mind that all weapons can technically be thrown, and that if it does not appear on the following list, can be picked up again later.

Ballistic knife (One-use only when fired)
Brick (Breaks upon impact when thrown)
Broken bottle (Breaks upon impact when thrown)
Broken PSP (Breaks upon impact when thrown)
Glass shard (Breaks upon impact when thrown)
Scrap metal shard (Breaks upon impact when thrown)
Table (Shatters into four planks upon impact when thrown)
Wooden chopsticks (Breaks upon impact when thrown)
Wooden stick (Breaks upon impact when thrown)
