Greets,

Am brand-new to game, in the middle of tutorials.
I bought a 125mm and a 150mm auto gun, in addition to the one i was given.
The one i was given had EPS ammo with it, but that won't work in either of the other similar guns.

I looked in the market, but to no avail.

How does one buy bullets (ammo) for those guns?

I guess you meant EMP S. EMP is a specific flavour of projectile ammunition, mostly doing EM damage. The "S" designates the ammunition size: Small.

Both the 125mm and 150mm autocannons are small projectile guns. They can use the EMP S you were handed.

Not sure though, why you cannot load the ammunition.

Also: Although it works ok in the beginning, do not get used to mixing guns! Especially not long range and short range types.

Edit: You may also have a look at this. Be careful, some of the information may be outdated. It's still a good overview though.

Edit 2: You find them on the market under Ammunition & Charges/Projectile Ammo/Standard Ammo/Small

Remove standings and insurance.

Just a random guess, but seeing the calibers of the turrets you bought. Are you sure they are autocannons? And you haven´t accidently strayed into the "hybrid turrets! -> Railgun section of the market?

Rightclick the turret and select "Show info". In the info sheet there should be a section named "used with" wich Shows wich Kind of bullets go into this gun. And a stat named "charge size" that will tell you wich size of bullet you Need.
