IIRC, there are many billions of rounds of ammo manufactured in the US every year, and most of it gets burned through. Hell, just look at the production figures for cheap .22LR ammo, and you'll see that there's a lot out there.
BTW, guns will last forever unless you're a stupid shit that abuses it. And anybody who is getting less than 20,000 rounds through a gun before it is useless is either a varmint shooter (standard is to replace the barrel every thousand or so rounds) or a moron. Shooting an SKS or AK with a chrome-lined barrel and NC ammo? It should last a very, very, VERY long time. I've got an old chinese AK with over 100K rounds through it, without a single broken part. yeah, it's "a bit loose", but it still functions.
