This is old history, brother.
We had problems getting Swedish Ks in the 60s due to Sweden considering us a belligerent, leading to Smith and Wesson coming out with the S&W 76.
IIRC, they also would not sell us some 40mm weapons during the same period, like Bofors.
I am surprised that we have not had problems getting ammo recently for the Karl Gustav and AT-4s.
It can happen, and it does. I suspect that we get domestic production rights for anything that will be over a certain number, like the M-9 from Beretta.
