Well you can shwack any gomer and pick them up off his corpse in most countries in the world.
Well, SB snipers all use M40s, so there is surely plenty of 7.62x51 in SB armouries.
But, yeah, one reason Shobhit doesn't want to use a SCAR for his super duper immersive playthrough is also because it has proprietary mags.
I tend to headcanon it that the Ghosts have plenty of logistical support, and obviously Holt does fine with his SCAR, so I just go back to the safehouse and ask Bowman for more mags.
As for 7.62x39 I actually feel bad about using weapons that fire that cartridge because it means I'd be taking ammo rebels could be using. They are pretty poorly equipped and funded, and many have to resort to old AKs.
Meanwhile SB and Unidad are using 5.56x45 and 7.62x51 or .338 Lapua. There's something delicious about the thought of feeding off the enemy and killing them with their own bullets. XD
