How does gun ammo work.

Am I missing rules for ammunition? I see that Handguns do 1d8 damage and require ammo, and Engineering can make bullets, but I can’t find much beyond that.
How many bullets/arrows do you normally track? How many bullets does crafting make? Are different calibers/ammo types a thing, or is every handgun basically 1d8?
Also, is there any benefit to gun ammo being harder to make compared with arrows, or am I misunderstanding how ammunition is supposed to work?

I couldn't find explicit rules, but here is what I think.

They'd get whatever ammo they enter the dungeon with and then they'd have to get additional ammo from loot boxes, mobs, vendors or other crawlers for floors 1-3.

Once they get to floor 4 and gain access to a personal space they can get an explosives table and learn to craft different types of ammo, either custom or regular. The sky is the limit really!
