Simple Rifle Ammo — Detailed Guide
Rounds for the Longneck Rifle
Simple Rifle Ammo, also known as Rifle Ammo or Rifle Bullets, is the ammunition of the 
Longneck Rifle in ARK: Survival Evolved and ARK: Survival Ascended, and the ARK Wiki notes that no other weapon uses it. Item text: "An odd bullet and casing, used with forged rifles."
Unlocking and crafting
The engram needs level 35 and 6 engram points, with 
Gunpowder as its prerequisite. One craft takes 1 second, gives 0.8 XP and makes 2 rounds from:
- 12 Gunpowder
- 2
Metal Ingot or 
Scrap Metal Ingot
The usual station is a 
Smithy, and an 
Argentavis Saddle works as well. During the Fear Evolved event, a craft returns only 1 bullet instead of 2.
An ingredient as well
Each 
Tranquilizer Dart takes 1 Simple Rifle Ammo in both games, so dart production draws on the same supply.
Carrying and finding rounds
A round weighs 0.1 and stacks to 100, so a full stack weighs 10. The wiki says supply drops hold it only rarely, yet 95 crate types can contain it, including Aberration Blue, Aberration Purple and Aberration Red.
A small quirk noted on the wiki: the icon shows a pointed bullet, while the rifle's loading animation shows a rounded one.
