I'm no expert on the munitions production industry, but I'd be curious of the pros and cons of nationalizing it.
At first glace, it seems a lot easier to mandate a Crown Corp maintains at least X excess capacity than trying to push against the incentives for private industry to always have capacity = current order volume.
As a member of the free market capitalist side of things. This NEEDS to be nationalized. I don’t care if it costs a bit more. Nationalizing Ammunition Production for small arms, up to 155mm Howitzer Ammunition should be done to both increase training usage and a strategic reserve of ready ammunition.
