LOL are you still going there? You have convinced yourself of the facts of the matter, yet to try desperately to save whatever small amount of face you might be able to, you insist on acting like a 3rd grader.
Exactlyhow many of the 1.6 billion rounds on the open purchase order are going to be hollow points? You are probably correct when you say that they won't all be hollow points because we already know that fed agencies do not practice with hollow points due to the cost factor.
So what?
Currently the DHS agencies use less than 15 million rounds per year. Are we really saying that we need 100 years worth of ammo? Shit stores a long time, but not that long.
Are you catching a glimpse of the problem here?
my correction which you seem to have conveniently left out
was the fact you said 1.6 billion were hollow points...my correction that it was 1.6 billion ammo SOME being hollow points.
Now is your argument that you are scared because someone purchased a lot of ammo to use on us ??? are you afraid that the big boys are buying all that ammo so you little people can't have any...lol DUDE WTF ...stop being such a scary little pussy. Info with link from source below
"DHS routinely establishes strategic sourcing contracts that combine the requirements of all its Components for commonly purchased goods and services such as ammunition, computer equipment and information technology services. These strategic sourcing contracts help leverage the purchasing power of DHS to efficiently procure equipment and supplies at significantly lower costs."
While it has been previously reported that DHS has solicited the purchase of 1.6 billion rounds of ammunition over the next four to five years, the government agency shows only 263,733,362 rounds in its current inventory.
But, DHS estimates it will spend $37,263,698 on ammunition in FY 2013.
Last year, DHS spent $36,535,910, a decrease from 2011's ammunition expense of $38,237,305.
Also, over the last three years the number of rounds purchased by DHS has declined.
In 2010, the agency purchased 148,314,825 rounds. In 2011, 108,664,054 rounds were purchased; and in 2012, 103,178,200 rounds.
In response to how the ammunition will be used by DHS, the various component agencies answered specific to their usage:
- CBP (Customs & Border Protection) said that "70 percent of CBP ammunition is used for quarterly qualifications."
- ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) says it "allocates 1,000 rounds of ammunition per firearm per year for quarterly qualifications and training."
- TSA (Transportation Security Administration) says "35 percent of TSA ammunition is allocated for operational use (qualifications and duty carry)." you can view the full report right here http://www.coburn.senate.gov/public/index.cfm?a=Files.Serve&File_id=9cde768f-bb3a-4fd9-8176-1745c21519c2... please read it all so you are prepared to debate if you still want to...but 1.6 billion is nothing looking at the agencies ( more then one) that will be using them and for what purposes. and the time span in which they will be receiving them.
... and are you still thinking a 37mm flare is the same as a m203.
