    Lack of SMG ammo drops

    Why is there such a disparity between ammo drops? Almost every one of the enemies in this game(at least as far as I've played) use AR-C's and thus the supply of rifle ammo is pretty much endless. Yet almost none of the enemies use SMG's of any kind, very very rarely there are enemies using the SMG-11 but nowhere near enough to drop enough ammo to make effective use of any of the SMG's. I only really noticed this after I bought paint, a scope, supressor, and extended magazine for the SMG-11. This really sucks as I just unlocked the MP40 and I really like it. Is it just the area I'm in? do enemies with SMG's become more common in other areas or later in the game? As it stands now theres no reason to use them as it just wastes a slot that could be filled with something else that will be constantly fed from drops.

    I'm wondering the same thing and a Google search of "Far Cry 5 SMG ammo" brings up this thread as the top result. Bought and fully modified an MP-5 and was loving it until I ran out of ammo. Every single enemy so far carries the AR-C. I've been hoping that once I finally make it out of John Seeds area that SMG's are more common.

    I noticed this as well with my MP5; great gun, but I was constantly running out of ammo, even though I looted everything I could find while playing--including topping off my ammo whenever I saw the roaming "gun shop" lady.

    Eventually I just gave up using the MP5 and switched to the AK-M, which appears to use the same ammo as the cultist's AR rifles...no more ammo problem.

    But would be nice to be able to use the MP5 again without such a shortage of available ammo.
