Ammo will not be gone after "a year or two." You kids watch too many damn movies.

Let's say the basic load for the 5.56mm M4 carbine is 7 30-round magazines. 210 rounds.

Let's say that you're gearing up for Armageddon like a douchebag and buy 10k rounds of ammo.

Let's say that you go through 210 rounds a month for 12 months. That's 2520.

Let's say that you go through 210 rounds a WEEK for 12 months. That's 10920.

...

If Joe Average can go through over ten 1000 rd cases of ammo in a year and not end up dead, he's a bad motherfucker.

Unless you're super crafty, in most post-apocalypse gunfights, you've got a 50/50 chance of getting your ass zapped.

If you're still alive, you won't have a problem coming across more ammo. It'll be on the dead guy across from you.
