With that volume, it makes you wonder whether they might be trying to kill the supply chain for civilians.

Thousands of agents shooting qualifications several times a year. Use a lot of ammo.

1. They didn’t “order” that much, they have a contract that locks the price in for up to 450 million rounds for an extended period of time. In other words, someone isn’t shipping 450 million rounds to someone this year, they are just locking in the price for future orders.

2. Sounds like a lot, but it really isn’t. Let’s just take the US Army for example. They have about 1.5 million active and 1.5 million in reserve. Let’s just use a clean 1 million number. If they blow off 50 rounds of pistol ammo per week in practice, you are looking at billions of rounds used.

3. I believe that some agencies are standardizing calibers to the .40 (mentioned this yesterday as having read this in several LEO forums). Over x number of years to replace the ammo plus practice, etc, you can burn through 450 million rounds rather quickly. Even considering the armed agencies that fall under DHS- FBI, Secret Service, Coast Guard, etc (not counting for if the contract extends beyond DHS).

I would like some context before deciding what this means. How much ammunition did they buy each year over the past five years? Is this more, less or about the same? This isolated set of facts, with nothing to compare them to, tell us nothing.

Probably has something to do with that scary EO the Wan just signed Friday under the radar. Interesting article/thread about it just above this one - seems the current EO is a “new and improved” version of one Slick Willie had penned years ago.

This one includes the DHS.

Coincidence? Hmmm.......

We use to make our own.

Was a lot cheaper. And it was for hunting deer that we ate all summer long in lunches and steaks.

It’s probably illegal now.

175 million? I guess they feel that only half of us are a threat to them.

Why did the DHS just order 450 million rounds of .40 caliber ammunition?

Because they may need to kill A LOT of people.
