Forum:So...what does it do?

I'm new to this wiki so I don't know whether or not threads are reused often, but this thread is to post questions about anything that doesn't make sense.

For me, I bought a bulk/case of some sort of ammo in a store for around 200caps. I thought it was going to give me a ton of that ammo but it just sits in my inventory. What is it supposed to do? I imagine it perhaps cuts down on the weight in hardcore? please reply, -- 00:20, October 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * It's supposed to do exactly what you thought it was supposed to do. Try dropping it and picking it back up. -- 00:33, October 28, 2010 (UTC)

Its used to create ammo and such. As you know a bullet is the small lead part that flyes out of a gun but the whore round or cartridge consists of a bullet, primer , gunpowder and "case". In short case is the body of a cartridge while the bullet is the head. In fallout its used to create ammo from them, go to a reloading bench and you can see the various options, but for each one you need to have certain level of skill ( i think its repair or guns maybe). you can also breakdown ammo on the reloading bench giving you - powder, cases and primer / by Trivium
