: I've just started watching TLW and also just discovered this message board.: After watching 2 episodes, I just gotta know... : Where do they get their ammo? It's not like there's a "Bullets "R" Us" kitty-corner to the tree house! ;-) : Cheers. : Roxton has a reloading press, which is used to fabricate cartridges by putting the ingredients together. Lead(what a bullet is made of) and mercury(what detonates the cartridge when mixed as a fulminate) are found naturally. Copper and tin form brass, which can be stamped out to form cartridge casings. Smokeless gunpowder can be made from wood pulp and a certain, naturally occuring acid. By 1919(the year the show starts) clean fire smokeless gunpowder formulas were common knowledge, of which Summerlee and Challenger would know of because they are scientists. I hope this answers your question. Regards, G3A3
