The Bulky Ammo Container is a large, hard case built to carry ammunition. In play it is a roomy container that halves the felt weight of what goes inside. Its real draw is what it holds when found.
A found container nearly always comes packed with an Ammunition Box. The box inside can be for 9mm, .38 Special, .44 Magnum, .45 Auto, 5.56mm or .308 rounds, shotgun shells or hunting rifle rounds. All these versions share one set of stats.
Its main strength is the ammunition inside and a fair amount of space for a light case. It turns up most often in army surplus stores. The Tailor is the best occupation for bags and containers. It starts with the most Tailoring skill.
Carrying
The Bulky Ammo Container holds a fair load and halves the felt weight of its contents. It weighs little when empty.
Compared with other hard cases, it is roomy. The Protective Case and the Protective Military Case weigh the same but hold less than half as much. The Small Protective Case holds a quarter as much. The Suitcase holds the same amount but weighs three times as much. The Bulky Military Container and the Bulky Protective Container match it in every figure.
Once emptied, it makes a good storage box for spare rounds and magazines in a base.
