I don't really get how Luna's first conclusion to the creation of more ammo is that they're planning something, instead of just gearing up for a defense to defend themselves from anything.

I imagine Luna arrival to this conclusion, is that if the humans wanted to gear yp for a defense of their property and loved ones. They would have outright asked for such materials openly. Once again. Luna being banished for so long has paid off. As she is able to detect the fact that this isnt a simple case of re-armamant, but somthing else.
Bt shes also not ignorant as to intervene with the subltey of a U.S statiegic bombing raid... and it would have probaly worked... had a certain Australian not had questions for a certain princess and hear the concersation...

HmmIdunno, a new, mostly unknown people that not too long ago tried to flatten a town creating ammunition so shortly afterwards? Ammunition with even more destructive potential? Anyone would be suspicious.

Okay, but they're working together according to the story, and it would actually be against their own self interest to start some sort of war when they need the material to, more or less, survive. It just makes more sense to me that they would use the weapons and technology they have available to further defend their settlement against trouble.
Also on another note, I don't think Luna really took this into account, but the vehicles need fuel to operate, and unless they're making new oil reserves, they wouldn't get too far when attacking, and a prolonged siege would be bad for them. It just makes little sense for them to try anything except maybe flex their strength muscles to deter an enemy.

They say they're working together. But not everyone has an American mindset that says "guns is working together." To a lot people here, much less ponies in Equestria, making lots of guns means "we're gonna attack someone."
And I'm pretty sure Luna isn't quite up to date with the exact nature of human military logistics, so details like fuel requirements wouldn't really occur to her.

But they aren't making more guns (as we know of), they're making more ammo

True, but deadly ammo. Ammo deadlier than the stuff they already had. That is not any less concerning.
Well concerning fuel. Theres a cheeky but risky alternative. But said alternative will only apply to half of the human vehicles...
And yes. Equestrians are unfamiliar with human logistics. The thing that they do know is. The weapons the humans use are dangerous at best with the "air propelled ammo" but now the humans are trying to use blackpowder. And anyone(or pony) whos seen a firework go off. Knows how much power is behind that. Twilight figured out very quickly that the human weapons operate by throwing a small metal projectile very fast. But anypony can understand faster is more dangerous.
The humans arnt looking for a war. Their looking to display. "We may be more frail than you are. But if you attack us. We'll f***k you up long before you get within range to hurt us. We're armed. And we know how to use our arms well!". Military posturing is the tactic of the day. Becuase the Equestrians have already seen how easily a town was deleted from the face of the planet, and that was without having actual ammunition.
Sadly. Instilling fear into the locals may be good at the best of times for ensuring your civilization isnt harmed. But at the best of times it also kills diplomacy and trade... we shall see how this all plays out...
Im sure Discord is somewhere rightnow eating popcorn and being enthralled with the new race before him...

MOAR COMMENTS!
WHOOOO!
your all awesome readers
Death before Disarmament!!!
Next chapter is going to be delayed.
Work is currently being a nightmare...
Ok, update.
Today should be the last day on this jobsite, so once this is done, i'll take tomorrow off and resume work on the next chapter the day after.
Apologies for the delay.
UPDATE:
Chapter 28 is coming along smoothly.
Chapter 28 had been delayed slightly due to life, but is back on track once more, don't worry its coming.
I'm personally responsible for two days of chapter 28's delay:
-Writing a Fimfic with a friend. -=Dualverse: The Beginning=-
-Setting up 'Second Chance Studios' Discord server for all of us! (I'm so excited for when its done. Its link will either be in the authors notes or a comment depending on what the sites rulebook will let me get away with once i reread it.
-Writing an FOE story as well.
I don't help myself with making my writing roster so staggered. But it works! And it works well!
Chapter 28 coming soon!
Thanks for being patient!
Sorry for the delay...

Hmm. Not like low friction brass isn't used in all sorts of bearings for machinery. Or that quarrying stone, excavating for canals, and mining. Or that hunting with a firearm is far more effective to provide the proteins humans need - especially young humans.
Dumb arse ponies

True, but the ponies are essentially on the doorstep of their industrial revolution, with random bits of tech sprinkled in.
They dont know better. And they are admittingly looling at humans through a pretty narrow lens of view
Oh Twi..... this is gonna end badly
