I mean, every vending machine can be hacked. Paywalled, so I can’t see if there’s something unique about this vending machine, but if it’s got any sort of onboard computer (which pretty much every vending machine does), then it can be accessed, and it can be bypassed.
These are supposed to have AI facial recognition for matching to government issued IDs, which just sounds like a huge attack surface (or even unintentional bugs).
You can also just vandalize the vending machine and steal the ammo, which would probably be a lot easier than hacking it, or even vandalizing a gun store.
