The Ammunition Box is a small hard case built to hold rounds for firearms. It is a container carried in the hand rather than worn. It keeps a stash of ammunition together and makes it lighter to carry.
Its strength is that it often comes already full. A box found in loot may hold boxes of rifle, pistol or shotgun rounds. Its cost is a hand slot, since it has to be held to cut the weight of its contents.
The game has one Ammunition Box with several loads, such as 9mm, .38, .44, .45, .308, shotgun shells, hunting and mixed rounds. Army surplus stores and police armouries are the best places to find one. The Tailor is the best occupation for bags and containers. It starts with the most Tailoring skill.
Carrying
The box holds 6 units of goods. While it is held, it takes half the weight of its contents off the carrier. Carrying it slows running by about 1 percent.
It works best as storage for a gun owner. A box sitting in a base keeps every calibre in one place. A box taken on a trip keeps spare rounds together in one hand.
Compared with wearable bags, it is modest. The ALICE Belt and Suspenders holds the same 6 units but takes off 80 percent of the weight and leaves both hands free. A Small Backpack holds 15 with 70 percent reduction.
The contents depend on the load. A mixed box most often holds 5.56x45mm rounds, followed by 9x19mm, .38 Special and 12 gauge rounds. A hunting box often holds .223 rounds, shotgun shells and .308 rounds together.
Variations
The Ammunition Box comes in 9 versions with the same stats. Only the look changes.
