The IRL ammo types I can think of are standard, Hollow Point, Armor Piercing, Full Metal Jacket, Total Metal Jacket, Incendiary, and accuracy rounds. Most of these types of ammo are just designed to do extra damage to certain types of target. Because there are no armor types that I'm aware of, I'm not really sure what other ammo types would do. Perhaps they are geared towards bodytypes, HP for lights, AP for heavy, something like that. There might be Incendiary rounds that add fire or explosions to your ammo. Maybe there are certain types of ammo that do a debuff, causing people to move slower or something. Could maybe add to gun stats, such as a round intended to be low recoil or high accuracy.
It also occurs to me that there might only be +damage ammo, and AP just a one stop on the path of upgrading the basic ammo supply skill, such as the turret skill can be upgraded a number of times.
