Damage is the ammo's own, before the gun's scale. The number under a gun is what one shot does from it. Cost is the recipe divided by what one craft makes. Full damage to 10 m, then down to 80% at 60 m.

Methodology
Tested in game on the current version of Rust. One hit at full health, point blank, with the item's own damage. Fire that keeps burning after the hit is not counted. Patrol Helicopter rows count hits to its body, not its rotors.
