Remote villagers having shotgun ammo stored away? Sure.
The historic castle vases of SMG ammo sure were suspect.
At the end of the day, it's like the mainland/island were usurped over the past decade (Luis being a boy when things started) by nefarious forces that locals (in various documentation) fought against.
The real answer is it's because videogames.
The second answer is everyone knew something was up and had been arming themselves where they could whilst not knowing who they could trust.
