40,000 rounds for 63 officers is about 630 rounds each. To many Freepers that is “a start”. To the media that is an “arsenal”.

But - it does point to the vastness that is the Federal Government. To paraphrase: “40,000 here and 40,000 there, pretty soon you’re talking big numbers”.

I guess I have to start over...I lost all my guns and ammo in that canoe accident...

To put things into perspective, 630 rounds per officer is about half the quantity of ammunition that each Swiss Soldier keeps in his home as required by law.

It also breaks out to 50 Rds per month of training and 30 rds for duty carry.

My understanding is that bid solicitation calls for delivery over a five year period. If so, then the average annual allotment of 126 rounds per oficer would barely cover an hour at the practice range.
