I'm sure it wasn't at the time, but that story about the ammo was funny.  I've 
had stuff happen like that and eventually I end up looking at the computer like 
"You have to be kidding me!?!?".

When I first started playing the game I had no clue what you did and didn't 
need, so I started picking up everything that wasn't nailed down while trying 
to find a hammer to get the rest of it.  I'm famous for grabbing everything in 
site in these kinds of games because "I might need it later".  It didn't take 
too many piles of scrap metal before I realized I was going to have to make 
some serious adjustments or starve / freeze to death.
