Any way to craft ammo?

[Lozian]

Right now I feel like the rifle is useless because there is not enough ammo to go to, we either need a way to craft it with gunpowder or the rifle has to do way more damage, the bullets are too rare to use.
Mostly I just use an upgraded sword and it is just fine vs almost all zombies, and bullets take too much for even a normal zombie (I tested only by 1 tapping headshots and it is never 1)

Are you face tanking the horde or killing everything with your guns? I only use my guns for the big targets, or large crowds. Otherwise it's kiting and bow/crossbow. If I'm feeling daring, I'll wade in with an upgraded bat or something, but this isn't a game where you can burn 100s of rounds in a night - you want to keep it down to 30-40 rounds per night, at most and avoid using your guns during the day.

Horde nights should be controlled with traps, not your weapons. Make the lead up to your base entrance a proverbial minefield of spike traps. Layer upon layer, but make sure you are leaving gaps, because if you completely block the path with spike traps, they'll just come trash your base foundation

Yes I know, and I do that already but, still either way they feel useless. I have no issues if they exist or not right now. And I think that is the problem because I can kill everything without them and I feel like I never want to use them because the damage output isn't even that good.
If there is a "BIG TARGET" i just throw a molotov or 2 that I can actually craft and they get stunned and then I procede to kill them super easy, and if it is a "BIG TARGET" that you can't kill it like that, you just lure it into the traps because they do more dmg than anything else.
Again right now rifles are useless.
Maybe you can use them to PVP and that's it, but that is such a boring purpose.

NOTE: And yes I normally build a trap around a building that has a zombie boss if it is too far from my base, then I just destroy it and rebuild it. Why again? Because you can craft them again and those are renewable resources. (Depending on the trap) But yes.

i usually just use my rifle for speeding up looting so i can explore more. the Horde its usually just my katana and crossbow to finish off a the few that somehow miss the traps or are just a little tougher than the rest.
