There is a rumour that you can get infinite ammo though. Try this... Collect all dog tags and complete the game and then save it. You then need to start a new game and equip the wig. With this item equipped you should have infinite ammo.

Although we have not tested this one ourselves, we have put this in as a recommended cheat as we have been asked by many users why we have no cheats for this great game.

Dog Tag Know How
Dog tags are hidden on many of the soldiers. If an enemy has one, youll see a glowing spot on their chest where the tag would hang.

You'll need to surprise them at gunpoint (Hold Square when near them), then walk over (hold L1 while holding square) to stand in front of them. Point the gun at their face, and eventually they'll shake with fright and drop the tags.

Once you pick them up, you can view them from the title screen in the Special Menu. To obtain the tags from the 'persistent' soldiers, do the above, and then Shoot them in the hand or near their face. That will get them to co-operate.
