Oh I bet there is all kinds of stuff still in army depots - and considering Littlefield's resources (and that fact that the tanks had live barrels) I can bet that he had at least some live shells to go with them - and by 2001 even a couple of dozen shells a piece isnt bad considering that outside of vehicles issued to parties for starting campaigns you dont see many out there with full ammo loads (unless they are only armed with machine guns or very common rounds like for the M1 that they made untold numbers of shells for)
and yes having an adventure to find ammo stored away in an old depot sounds like a very good idea indeed
and there is even a great place to do so in CA - i.e. the Sierra Army Depot in Herlong, CA
