I have a pistol range at the ranch and I can shoot 100 rounds a day easy. what do they have...200,000 employees? adds up pretty quick.
That's a of a lot of practice rounds. I have a hard time believing they will use than much.
Funny how the liberals only focus on what the M$M's, and liberal rags tell them to.

Yes, and it is over a five year period that the are buying these 1.6 billion rounds. Still, I'll bet they don't average anywhere close to 100 rounds a day per employee.
I just don't buy it. I believe most of these rounds are being redirected someplace else.
That number would be an average of 100 rounds per employee every 23 days, assuming the 200k is correct.
i've put at least 20k rounds each through my glock and baretta alone.
it's possible
Sure it's possible. Not my point. Most of the department isn't going to fire but maybe 100 rounds a year for practice and qualification. I'll bet a very small percentage works in the field, does any live fire training drill, or shoot up more than 200 rounds a month in practice.
The CIA is part of DHS. How many rounds do you think they are contributing to these skirmishes all over the world?
I read someplace that we used something like 700,000,000 rounds a year in Iraq. 1,600,000,000 is a war-like number of rounds.
they've been "contributing" for decades. you just now get that?
I just wish these civilian idiots would quit driving up the price of ammo with their damn panic buying/hoarding.. Freaking .22 ammo is virtually impossible to find and when you do it's at absolutely stupid prices. I'm down to only like a thousand rounds and was looking last week and a box of 525 rounds of Remington .22 hollowpoints that I was paying $16.50 for last year went for $140 + $25 shipping on gunbroker.
And yeah, boo , i'm an ammo fellator too.
It's the size of the purchase. Far larger than past purchases, and nobody seems to care. The media would be going crazy if this was done under a republican president. Obomba gets a pass though.
so what.
you have no idea about that.Far larger than past purchases
that pres fabricated for war. you didn't go crazy.The media would be going crazy if this was done under a republican president.
looks like they all get a pass.Obomba gets a pass though.
I'm seriously not getting upset about this WC. Those contracts allow the government to buy up to that quan y under specific lead time/notice/conditions at that price. It doesn't mean they will actually buy that many.
It would actually be cool to have a job that gave you all the practice ammo you wanted. I'd be burnin that up like crazy and savin my brass for reloading.
i hear ya. Am in the market for a new gun and almost pulled the trigger on a new Springfield emp in 9mm. Just got back from two different walmarts and the local gun store and there was no 9mm. Only thing I bought was .40 and .45. Looks like I may have to shift my next purchase to what round is available. I've seen 357 sig everywhere and am thinking about buying the barrel conversion for my p229.
Prices are coming down in the AR15 market at least. Finally ordered a BCG for a normal price. Took a few months but at least I didn't pay double. This run on ammo is a though, I haven't shot for awhile.
lol.... Boutons couldn't get out of this thread fast enough.
There's no way guns could be smuggled into Mexico. It's illegal.
Even if the contract is as you say, my main point all along is the liberal hypocrisy.
Do you agree or disagree that if 1.6 billion rounds were contracted for under president Bush, as to the media having a hay-day over it?
What about what all the liberal lemmings would say?
ammunition is useful if you don't have a gun
go suck a few .50 cal for me. not as big as what you usually suck, but it will do
