I heard the ammo was .40JHP, not .308. You have any info that might correct my impression?

It’s some of each, the bulk being .40 and 5.56x45.

Check the bang list for previous threads - there have been procurements of pistol and rifle ammo.

I was wondering the same thing about the calibers, but I guess if you look at the possible kill number and the multiplier of 1.3, then they’re talking about a small subset of the 1.2 billion rounds of ammo.

It’s not just the .40 cal. pistol ammo the DHS is purchasing 1.6 billion rounds of various calibers & types. This is in addition to the various govt. agencies that purchase their own ammo like the FBI ,IRS ,U.S. Marshal service.

The question is just who is the govt. planning on shooting?
