With any luck this will depress the cost of 5.56 ammo. 35-50 cents a round now!

[Keith Brown]

What grain wt? What quality? How does it group?

Anyone use this stuff?

[BOBTHENAILER]

Prayers that at least 10 million of these find a worthy home in the bodies of Islamic terrorists.

Regarding AFP and ‘bullets’

[Calpernia]

I’m confused. Aren’t bullets made of steel? Wouldn’t this fall under the Berry Amendment?

[ridesthemiles]

I don’t like to buy anything made outside the USA, which is getting harder and harder to do.
Why would I use bullets made who knows where to protect myself and my property???

[1rudeboy]

A billion bullets here, a billion bullets there, and pretty soon you’re talking real bang bang.

[Pistolshot]

I was told at the shop I work at on weekends that ammo prices are going up 20% by December and another 20% in February.

If you can get primers, powder, and cases, I suggest stocking up now.

[oldbill]

Looks like America can have guns and butter - both of them imported.

Remember the “Arsenal of Democracy”?

[WakeUpAndVote]

Sad, we can not even make our own bullets anymore.

[purpleraine]

Has anyone read an analysis of how we would supply ourselves if we got into a major war?

[MD_Willington_1976]

glad I run a .223 Kalashnikov... it eats Barnaul & Wolf like a fat kid with a bag of jelly beans...

[wideminded]

There was an article several weeks ago that said there is a bullet shortage because we are expending a billion bullets a year in Iraq and Afghanistan. Sounds like a lot but it’s only about 20 bullets per soldier per day.

[nonsporting]

At today's exchange range $1US = NT$32.38, this deal works out to approximately $1.73 per 100 bullets.

That's less than 1/10th what I would pay for 62grFMJ/BT equivalent, if available.

[RightWhale]

Just the bullets? No brass, primers, powder?

[Dr._Joseph_Warren]

That's a surprise.

I would have guessed Taiwan would be delivering those to China, only on a more one-to-one basis.

We better order a lot more.

You know what they say. Within a few hours of shooting Chinese bullets you feel like shooting some more.

[Snickersnee]

Sixty Blackhawk helicopters! Connecticut says “thank you!”

[BnBlFlag]

It’s a sad day when our domestic military contractors cannot manufacture enough ammo for our own use.
