Princesses- yo-yo bomb.
I had a few ideas on the series and I was thinking about the Swans yo-yo bomb. From what I recall off hand she only ever carries one on her into battle.
Its been a while since I've been able to enjoy watching eps all the way through to see if its explained or shown-- and wonder if she carries extras somehow. (Cause he belt pocket only looks like room for one yo-yo bomb.)
She couldn't use it again afterwards obviously since it was blown up?
I doubt she runs back to the ship to top up during a battle. Other than that she's out of a weapon. Same thing she puts a bomb into Mark/Ken's birdrang. Does he carry a spare?
Thoughts?? Is this fic fodder??

I guess putting the explosives they all seem to carry (at least Ken, Jun and Jinpei) into their personal weapons would be a last resort option. Once it's blown up they'd be weaponless (but not necessarily less dangerous) until they get back to the Phoenix, or base.

I think you're right, Ebonyswanne: each team member basically carries one weapon, and when those who can detonate their weapons detonate them, that's it: kablooey. Fill out a form and take it down to the armoury. Again.
I recall the episode you're thinking of, where Mark asks for one of Princess' 'fusion cylinders' and loads his boomerang with it, after which it goes kablooey and after the credits roll, Mark presumably has to fill out a form and see whoever is in charge of the armoury.
If you want to get into speculative territory, would de-transmuting and re-transmuting again restore a full complement of weaponry and/or ammunition? Do they keep spares in hammerspace? What constitutes hammerspace in the battleverse? I suspect hammerspace exists in the battleverse because it's really difficult to explain the apparent absence of conservation of mass without invoking said hammerspace. Let's face it, people in the gatchaverse and the battleverse appear to have a note from their Mum excusing them from physics forever, particularly the mentors. If real science bit one of them on the ankle, he'd be all like, "Dude, what just bit me on the ankle?"
The short answer is that we don't know, so as far as fan-fiction's concerned, you can basically come up with your favourite flavour of phlebotinum and add to taste.

The other tjing that cracks me up is the Swan basically carries live explosives on her no matter where she is.
Can you imagine an accident at the snack J. She realizes one of her bombs is a little unstable sitting in her pocket.
Its one way to clear a movie theatre if she was on a date. Too funny.
Really the end credits saved the day. I could see Mark sweating as his sonic boomerang explodes... feeling vunerable... then the music starts and they all collapse relieved.
Laws of physics... nahhhh... why spoil the fun.

LOL so many great suggestions and observations here. It would be fun to use a different set of rules in every fic universe. 
I will note that I'm pretty sure Ken/Mark also carries explosives in his pouch. I'm pretty sure he's loaded them into his weapon straight from there before.

It changes every few eps really. They gave teenagers live explosives to carry around in their pockets. What were they thinking!ππππ

Indeed! It would make more sense if they didn't have their weapons on them ALL THE TIME.
Joe/Jason: "Why don't I get to carry them too?"
Everyone stares at the Condor.
(I wouldn't be surprised if I've forgotten some episode that shows he also carries them.)

Mark/Ken logic. "It's not in your job description."
Joe/Jason grimace. "Since when did I care about that?"
Jun/Princess heavy sigh. " I can make a few mini bird missles explosives if it will make you feel more included."

LOL ...
Jun/Princess: If you want to use them in your gun, though, I'll have to do a lot of testing to make sure you don't blow your hand off.
Trying to remember if Jinpei/Keyop had explosives for his bolos. He might have.

Yep. He keeps them in what looks like a tic-tac box.

Does that make Joe/Jason the only one who doesn't carry explosives, or have I forgot an episode where we see him pull some out?
I seem to recall that at one point Ken/Mark had some in the heel of his boot? That seemed a rather dangerous spot to keep them.

Don't forget Ryu/Tiny! He carries a cable gun like G-2, unless of course, you're counting the fact that he usually has the command ship strapped to his arse, which carries the heaviest explosive complement by a long chalk.
In the episode with the really creative taxidermy of the mammoth, where G-3 loses her shoe, we are shown that the team's gear is close to indestructible. Perhaps the heel of the boot is supposed to able to contain some kind of really, really, REALLY stable compound that remains inert within its container and only goes 'boom!' when you really, really, REALLY want it to, using a PRD (Plot-Requirement Detonator.)
Now I have a mental image of poor Dr Nambu, who after he died, was sent to atone for his sins. His spirit is subject to the eternal torment of sitting through endless lectures on real science. With pitchforks, chalk that makes that awful squeaky noise on the blackboard, and those old black and white Open University films. And possibly old re-runs of 'Why is it So?' with Professor Julius Sumner-Miller. (He doesn't get to watch the original series of 'Cosmos' with Carl Sagan, though, because that was actually pretty good.)
