Those rounds are made to pierce armored pinatas.
We catch a greater percentage of contraband on the way out than we do on the way in.
How high?
Is it a secret?
92k. That’s all?
“92k. That’s all?”
That’s poungs not rounds. That’s 12,000 pounds more than a legal 18 wheeler load of stuff. That was one loaded bus. Where’d they put it?
Needed for the new version of the War Wagon....

About the movie:
A war wagon, takes 4 horses to pull and weighs about 1100 lbs.
It’s seen mounted on a turret on the top rear of the stagecoach and is fired by Frank Pierce (Bruce Cabot). Colt 1865 Gatling Gun - . 44 Rimfire.
“CBP officers noted that the two bus drivers depicted nervous behavior during the routine inspection,”
Sweating bullets is not your best look while smuggling ammo.
No, the headline and the lead sentence both specify rounds. Without knowing what the ammunition was, it’s not possible to calculate the weight. 92,000 rounds of 9mm would weigh around 1,600 pounds.
Maybe the reporter thinks “high-caliber” is anything over .22 short.
VERY High-Caliber.
I wonder what they are considering as “high-caliber.”
I don’t get it. Why didn’t they turn them over to the Mexicans? The bullets are paid for. Allow the bus to proceed across the border and alert the Federales. Mexican justice is not our department.
Mexico doesn’t help us at the border but we do their jobs.
Possible for the chinese armies assembling in mexico...or
other n’ere do wells...
“Large caliber”? Like 375 H&H Magnums?
Colt 45 Malt Liquor.
"Eleven totes held 33,000 rounds of 7.62 mm ammunition. The other 15 totes contained 59,900 rounds of .223 caliber rifle ammunition for a total of 92,900 rounds of ammo, authorities stated.
So, Not 'large' caliber, or 'high caliber' it is Small caliber and Medium caliber.
Be nice if the Border patrol and the United Press and other media organizations would hire someone who knows a little about such things to write their reports.
I saw a reporter expressing incredulity that anyone would need a three hundred eighty caliber weapon
Oooooh
“High caliber”
How high is that?
.50 BMG or 20mm ?
92K rounds of either would probably bottom out a bus.
