Do characters use my guns/ammo if equipped when I am not controlling them?

If some of my playable characters have guns or ammo on them, will they use these items when I am not controlling them, for example on a supply run or when a horde attacks base? I don't think I have seen it happen, just melee fighting. Also, can characters take weapons or supplies from locker without my control (and lose them)?


Actually they do take stuff from your locker. I went out and found a lot of nice guns, only to get on the next day to see that a lot of them were missing and my survivors were equipped with them.
