Just about every round fired from a British Army rifle comes from a BAE Systems factory in Cheshire, which makes around one million every day.

The company has a £2.4bn contract with the Ministry of Defence (MOD) to provide all its munitions for the next 13 years.

It also supplies much of NATO, and the cartridges are delivered as far away as India and Australia.

Forces News' Hannah King was given a tour.
