I realize there is an Ammo Kit mod available - but this allows me to make ammo.

I was hoping someone could make a kit (lunchbox is used in the ammo kit mod) that would allow me to take all found (found!) bullets and convert them to another ammo type.

That way I'm still having to find the ammo (I have a mod that makes the ammo in the world extremely rare) but would allow me to convert it to the one weapon I like to carry (instead of carrying 10+ weapons b/c ammo is so scarce).

That preserves the need to search in order to survive but streamlines what I have to carry and allows a favorite weapon.

The ammo kit mod is excellent in concept but breaks the survival aspect of the game b/c it allows me to manufacture bullets - taking away the need to search buildings etc.

Would someone be willing?

I will offer my indentured servitude for one full year in a french made costume (I'm 6'4'' and 245 pnds - so it will be very sixy)

You can already do that if you have The Pitt DLC. Upon completion it gives you access to the ammo press that allows to convert all ballistic type ammo.

Take a look at http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=4514.

It allows you to break down the ammo you find and use the components to create other ammo.
You have to buy the schematics for the particular ammo you wish to create, and use a workbench to create the ammo.
Most of the conventional ammo requires one can of gun powder, a scrap metal, and a tin can to make a batch of ammo.
A batch of .44 mag yields 50 rounds, while a batch of 5.56 ammo yields 80 rounds.
You can also buy the gun powder from vendors.

It requires CALIBR and CRAFT... but it's very stable and well thought out.
I wouldn't play without it.
