Got Bullets?



There are billions of bullets produced every year in the United States.  Based on military statistics it take about $2000 in 9mm ammo firing at a moving target to achieve maximum close range proficiency.  

In the Vietnam conflict the average soldier expended 2200 rounds per tenure with 2.5 million served as combat troops.  That equals 5.6 billion rounds.  Rough estimates state 150,000 Vietcong were killed during the war.

Combat conflictive situations expend a great deal of firepower with what can be minimal results.  Us American vets are trained as combatants supported by the largest war machine ever, that equates to more ammo on the way. 

What if you got only what you got, no more?  Consider this before chucking lead into the brush like Rambo. Instead pick up that weapon you are truly effective with, pick your shot, one round, one hit.  A simple .22 in the right hand will be tactically wiser than an M60 in any hands.
