Best Answer

The US Army uses ammunition that meets NATO standards, and they make most of it themselves. I can't be more specific than that because the Army uses a lot of different kinds of ammo. For instance, the 25mm cannon on the Bradley Fighting Vehicle can use six different kinds of ammo. The M16 rifle has a couple different kinds. The M60 machinegun has a few.

Although I can not address the specific use for the army alone, the Pentagon has purchased 1.8 billion rounds of small arms munitions annually since 2002.
