You can certainly make your own black powder, smokeless might take some doing. A set of dies made on a lathe can turn out primer cups and anvils, you can make priming compounds out of several things. you can turn brass cases on a lathe (certainly not cost effective now, but if you had no other way)Ammo can be made from scratch.
If it comes to a full scale revolution, homemade pressurized flamethrowers, all sorts of weapons can be made.
