These items become obsolete really fast, I think their existence is more of a nuisance at the moment while mid game weapons like the rifle and the shotgun have a better lifespan. the shotgun could be moved to become a tire 1 weapon to fill the gap.

Nuisance as in they take up space in the inventory and crafting area, true, but they are also necessary for early-game attacks. A recommended fix would be to waste the green ammo on a rock, or just set it down on the ground to not take up inventory.

A possible suggestion would be if we could instead "re-use" green ammo cartridges. Scrap 10 green ammo cartridges to be melted down and turned into 1 red ammo, or some other ratio.

Just put them into the wooden chest and blow it up with your red ammo. Or drive a tank over it.
All with wooden posts, burner miners, old armor, etc.

Guns and ammo could be optional on map-creation screen. That would solve the problem for everyone.

could always just leave it on your ammo belt, and eventually, it'll all be used up...
