Yeah lol. Our ammunition manufacturer could potentially triple their output with a small additional building, but they "lack the economy" to do so. Other arms manufacturers here gives the same reason. The issue is apparently not labour but profit and as you said, supply chains. They European shells manufacturing takes place in several different countries and they have issues cooperating. At least the explosives aren't scare as that would make it by far more difficult to solve
