What caliber is the SA80 anyways? And you're calling it an assualt rifle so I'll assume it's a bit beyond the individual weapon, like say an M-16 or M-4 carbine. Is this an individual machine gun, something like an M249 SAW, or a heavier crew-served machine gun like an M240 or the old M60?
I wouldn't think ammo would be terribly hard to find, probably uses either standard NATO 5.56MM or "commie" 7.62MM ammo. If it's a heavier weapon, maybe .308 caliber, all readily (and cheaply) available. Hell you could get an ammo press and load a few hundred rounds yourself in an evening.
I doubt it's been ripped off and sold though. if I was out in the field and had a chance to "appropriate" an M4 with a grenade launcher or an M249/M240, I'd swipe it, dissassemble it, and send it home.

It's funny, but we were just mentioning this line at work the other day.
