In the United States a lot of former military ammo is released into the civilian market after it reaches a certain age.
Some ammo is released for shooting events in the United States, but this is miniscule amount compared to what even a small, poor nation might require in a year.
Some of this ammo may be made available to smaller nations around the world after being removed from US inventories, or it may never have entered US inventory, having been supplied directly to another government.
Ultimately, though, the answer is... maybe.
