When Cops Run Out Of Ammo
YouTube ^ | July 17, 2021 | Geoffrey Botkin

When lawless mobs impulsively loot, commit arson, and kill the innocent, police can often restore order only with lethal force. But when cops run out of ammunition, what happens to social order at that point? The current situation in South Africa provides a real-world example.


6:53 video describing South Africa's outcome of permitting ANTIFA type rioting.

Is it corrosive?

If so I’m not interested.

I shoot a very small amounts of 22 rimfire bullets.

Even that was very short for a long time.

Hi.

My comment is the only person I worry about running out of ammo is me.

And mine of course.

Oh, forgot Steve. He has a whole cellar full of ammo.

5.56mm

Now that is a real story.

145 rounds is a lot, but I really don’t like 9mm. I only own one, it is a collectors item and I will never shoot it again, although I have ammo for it.

I really prefer 38/357.

This perp must have been a big guy to absorb so many rounds. (Did they say they were 45 rounds?)

I made it in high school. You have to respect it like anything else that can hurt you.

—”Did they say they were 45 rounds?”

A bit more here:
“The gunman sank four rounds into the Crown Vic’s hood while Gramins was drawing his .45-cal. Glock 21.”

Here is a MeWe discussion group that shows you how to do that, in great detail.

3 shots to the head with a 45 would do the trick.

I don’t expect any help from the cops. They are part of the problem. You have to assume they will come to the aid of the mob, and prepare accordingly.

If cops & crooks would just sit down together and open their hearts to each other, ammo would never be needed...

After all, isn’t that the way that the U.S. resolved all the issues with the japs & krauts in WWII?

The technique to recharge non-corrosive primers has been refined considerably.

Hundreds of people are doing it, with considerable success.

It takes a little bit of work to synthesize the precursor chemical, but is relatively safe; the method and tools are cookbook, all that is needed is to follow simple directions.

No sensitive explosive is made until the priming mix is activated with water after being placed in the primer cup.

I was amazed at how well this system has worked.

Some of those using it have reported recharging 150 to 200 primers per hour.

If you were talking about black powder, I had neighbors that made it when I was young.

If you mean reloading primers? I’ve never done that.

I’m sure I could if I had to.
