Yes, we make our own small-arms and ammunition. We learnt that lesson when
Sweden refused to supply us ammo for the 84mm Karl Gustav anti-tank
weapons we had, during the Vietnam War.
Rumour has it that that particular ammo lot was instead sold to the UK, who
promptly re-sold it to a certain Commonwealth country in need of it
(without telling us about it, of course)... I can of course neither confirm
nor deny whether this rumour is true :-/
