You can craft explosives. Other ammo can only be bought or refined. For explosives you need an explosives blueprint. The ingredient needed to craft it can be bought from the trade terminal.
You can convert shrapnel into universal ammo. 100ped shrapnel makes 101ped ammo so you gain 1% by doing this.
It is better than before, 101% guaranteed instead of otherwise unsellable loot. What's the use of something showing markup solely from successful sales when most listing attempts expire worthless, meaning with the fees lost you're already below TT.
