The only time you can have too much ammo is if you are trying to swim with it!

I'm gonna use that!

 

[bakerman]

All I've got to say, if it ever comes to the point that we actually think we need and might possibly use all these 1000's of rounds of ammo that we are hoarding......we as a nation and people are in a situation that I for one hope, I or my kids are not around to witness

THIS! Why do so many want to post how much ammunition, where it is stored, how many guns and where they are located, how many guns you carry and where they are on your person?
People that know me know I own and carry a pistol and I have ammunition for it.

Maybe we will never "need"- maybe we just choose to because we want to. But either way- it's still none of the nosey antis' damn business.

And that's the part they hate the most.

I agree and disagree with you. Telling people the specifics and all could be bad for you, but at the same time in order to answer a question on a good way to do something, you kinda have to share what you consider a good way is...which is often the way that you do it. Telling people that you have six different pistols and you like X pistol the best is probably not a biggie, but telling someone that you have six pistols and you keep pistol A on the fridge, pistol B in a drawer in your bathroom, and etc seems kinda out of place. I think we can all generally assume that most people on this forum probably have a decent chunk of ammo if they can afford it as well as accompanying guns as well (except for certain people who buy mags for guns they don't have...which I still don't get :P )

My evil gun's and ammo lye here, I do have a old double that Biden said was ok !

The next "gun ban scheme" is being revealed right before our very eyes.

How many people have guns now, but no ammo for them?

What good is a gun with no ammo? They don't have to ban guns, folks. It's just like having a car, but no gasoline to fuel it with.

...that may not be a terrible place for them. A few "moist nuggets" in a couple of sealed, weighted PVC pipes might come in handy one day. You never know lol.

I am going to keep buying ammo when I find it. I dont plan on going out a maxing a credit card just to have some in case it happens again.

I have been thinking the exact same thing. The Lake City plant can pump out 4 million rounds a day. Granted this is in different calibers and I'm sure a lot is going to the Armed Forces but how many other plants can put out the same or more? I know demand has risen dramatically but I can't help but wonder where are all of the bullets going?

 

[kcinnick]

The commercial manufacture of new ammunition is insanely expensive to start up to compete with the big boys. Putting the components together is the easy part, the automated equipment that make components cost in the millions of dollars. There are some fairly large ammo companies hand feeding hydraulic presses to produce their bullets and other components, the automation step doesn't come in until hey put the rounds together.

 

[DS727]

I have heard the figure of 1 BILLION rounds are manufactured per week. I don't know how true that is, but think about it. 1 billion per week and they can't keep up with demand.

I believe Lake City just does rifle rounds and larger munitions, the bulk of the pistol cartridges for the government are contracted out to commercial companies. There was no shortage up until there was all the talk of limiting ammunition purchases....then the hoarding started. That's all it is, everyone hoarding anything they can get their hands on. There will be a tipping point, when people finally figure out they have enough...then there will be a glut on the market, as all these companies have ramped up production to meet the demand, then the demand is going to drop greatly.
Really, I doubt if there is actually that much more ammo actually being consumed (shot) than before December....everyone is just grabbing everything they can. It's called the herd mentality

I sold off everything but a single shot .22 with a threaded barrel, a suppressor and one round of .22lr.

You know those ABC boy's that moniter this site would cream their ''Tightie Whitie's'' if someone was to really do that !
