All 44 items in Ammunition

How the Rust Ammunition category works

Ammunition decides as much as the gun does, since the same shotgun fires buckshot, slugs and incendiary shells to completely different ends, and rifle rounds come in explosive and high velocity forms. The tab also holds what never touches a gun, from rockets and mortar shells to the missiles a SAM site puts in the air.

The Rust Ammunition category contains 44 published items in the crafting and inventory catalog, each indexed with static HTML tables compiled directly from the game files. Notable entries in the Ammunition roster include 12 Gauge Buckshot, 12 Gauge Incendiary Shell, 12 Gauge Slug and 40mm HE Grenade. Across the Ammunition roster, 39 entries carry a crafting blueprint, 39 can be studied at a Research Table, 44 break down at a monument Recycler, and 0 accept condition repair at a Repair Bench or with a Hammer.
