    If I recall, the ammo ended up in short supply worldwide and hence prohibitively expensive.

        They use blanks. During the Iraq war there was a shortage of 5.7x28mm blanks. It’s possible they switched some blank production lines over to make live rounds for the war, or maybe the military needed more blanks to cover increased training needs.
