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.

Yep. He keeps them in what looks like a tic-tac box.
Swallow-bombs: the freshmaker.
(Okay, I'm mixing my confectionery there, but you get the drift.) |

LOL
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.)
