Ammo Scarcity vs Team Planning

mrbunnyban

First time out of the vault
Okay, I've been trying to build my single player team build around the scarcity of useful ammnition. My general impression from the boards is that energy ammo becomes abundant, browning ammo is rare (max 3-4 big guns), EMP shells are priceless. My questions are threefold:

A) I currently have
- one close-quarters ranged specialist/big guns specialist(protaganist)
- one energy weapon/small guns (Mandy)
- two small arms snipers (gauss rifle, Ice and Rage, i think one shoud learn enrgy skills soon)
- one big guns specialist(brian)
- one big guns/energy specialist (Jax).

Any ideas how to improve on that, based on SCARCITY OF USEFUL AMMUNITION? I have access to a character editor that's a bit fuzzy, only edits certain characters some of the time. I may be able to hex edit given time.

B) Currently I've just completed Junction City and have this much ammo. Am I short on something?

Shotgun:
85 regular (guess what I've been using mostly?)
132 Slug shells (AP)
436 Flechette (reavers are sooo easy...)
120 EMP shells (*sob*)

Minigun ammo:
4495 of .50 Cal
135 of .50 Cal DU
6055 of 5.56mm (is this any use???)

Energy Ammo:
2217 MFC (sold some, can get more from preoria)
592 SEC (is this any use???)

Gauss Ammo:
Zero. (wtf?)

C) Also, should I pay atttention to these or anything else?
479 frag grenades (took down the browning M2 mutants who refused to move into my ambush by sneak grenades...)
23 incediary grenades(can buy more i think)
15 flash grenades (can buy more I think)
35 explosive rockets (can buy more)
14 rocket sabo (can buy more)
?? flame thrower fuel

Trivial question: Anybody noticed this game has a great lovefor classic weapons? Browning M2s, worthless Einfeld (modern weapon) compared to older AKs...

Yes, when MicroForte couldn't be bothered to design weapons that would fit the style of Fallout, they raided an old arms catalog or something similar.
