Well we have seen that Dust is as volatile as gunpowder which can be applied to ammunition as a propellant or an explosive element in a warhead. Also the fact that firearms (not Hunter-Grade weapons) seem to be available to the population (criminals, police, etc.) suggests that there are mass-produced weapons, we just haven't seen them fired yet (refer to episode 1 and episode 16, and the Black/Yellow trailer)*. The robots in the Black trailer are most likely mass-produced and have shell casings come out of their guns. I believe this implies that there are factories which produce ammunition to arm them instead of a small workshop where they are hand-built.

Hunter weapons on the other hand are customized to fit the user (with exceptions). I would assume they are built, maintained, and modified by the Hunter to the point it can only be used by them. With these custom weapons, mass-produced ammunition will not do as they probably don't hold up to standards. So my guess is that Hunters may also create their own ammunition to fit their needs (probably created with high-end commercial products to ease logistics and decrease production time).


 * A rather unfortunate occurance, I wish to see how they operate. Laser? Ballistic?
