I’m willing to think about trading ammo but that’s risky business. If the people you trade don’t kill you others will hear of it and kill u
Same can be said of any valuable trade material when law and order have broken down.
PING!!
Never, EVER, barter your ammo.
During my downrange time overseas, we had no problems with ammunition. Burned through a few magazines? No worries, First Sergeant will be by shortly with the LOGPAC, and you can reload. What, Top ain't coming yet? no problem you can cross-level with Jonesy.
But now this is SHTF. There's no First Sergeant, no LOGPAC, and the neighbor next to you would just as soon shoot you and take all your ammo (and your daughters) for later use.
Oh, you want to trade "ballistic wampum"? Sure, no problem! Hey guys, see what that doofus just traded us? What else does he got, if he can spare ammo to trade?
And at 0300, you have your former trading partner, and his boyfriends, storming your house, taking your stash of supplies (and your daughters), and laughing at you as you bleed out on the carpet.
The bullet you trade in the morning will be shot back at you in the night.
Never, EVER, barter your ammo.
