You know, that sounds suspiciously like the Cyberpunk 3rd edition demo I
played at Euro GenCon '97 (!) ... The adventure began along the lines of
us being on some kind of mission in LEO in 2020, something going wrong,
and our characters getting frozen, then dropping back to earth a bunch
of years later. Que us discovering how much the world had changed from
the CP2020 setting. And then last week, I happened to take a look at
this: http://www.talsorian.com/news.shtml :)

If there's one thing that will remain usable for ages, it's ammunition.
You will of course need to be careful with old rounds that have been
lying around in the dirt for a long time, but people still regularly
fire stocks of ammunition that have been dug up in areas of heavy
fighting in World War II.
