OK - no I wasn't thinking from scratch... But I was Thinking
you would need a machine to make the bullet heads. And I would
guess that normal bullets would be pretty cheep and easy while
explosive & apds would be a pretty expensive machine to allow
the construction... Also a reload for caseless well... this
I guess would be construction. So a simple reload machine
1000nY (covers loads for all normal rounds aprox 1000rds/hr)
5000ny + 100nY for each bullet molding type (9mm,45cal,etc...)
this is for making the actual bullet head. or as someone
suggested make them buy a shop. +???? for teflon, or caseless
or flechette, or gel, or explosive. And as also suggested
don't allow production of APDS.

Then figure 30% of cost for buying the raw materials.

*PS. Does anyone know where it states how many rounds a gun can
fire in a simple action/complex action (for normal full auto)

Your suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks
