obviously you have never been to Mexico. They may have wanted to shoot Aaron, but the fact of the matter is that the Federales are responsible for buying their own weapons and ammo.
Nobody in their right mind (sorry Aaron) will push the issue to see if a soldier's semi-automatic is loaded or not, so ammo is a low priority item.
If you ever watched The Andy Griffith Show, and remember Barney, the deputy, you will recall that Andy only rarely gave Barney ammo for his revolver. Pretty much the same thing in Mexico. Of course, then there is always the issue of the firing pin, which are very pricey down there. So they use the butts of their weapons to beat their prisoners into submission.
There are very few instances of cops and soldiers actually shooting anyone. Usually just beat the crap out of them and throw them in a cell with 100 other poor fools. When you get out depends entirely on how much money they "think" you can come up with.
When they bust you carrying $7,000 in cash, they know you are big time, and they are going to hold out for mucho dinero.
