I suspect there are several issues. Under normal circumstances, do we need another manufacturer?

If you're going to start producing Ammo, that sounds like a pretty big deal ($$$). I suspect it would take a while for the initial cost to pay off. If the bubble bursts before then, ouch.

Considering it's explosive materials and ammunition, I suspect there may be some extra regs.

I can't imagine that it's that cheap or easy to open an "ammunition factory".
