You'd think with all the shooting they do cops would be better at shooting things. A hundred rounds for one dude? Even if he was an actual threat that's a huge waste of money. Ammo is expensive.
You can see what they said when you hit the reply button, even though the comment was deleted.
I know this isn't the point, but I thought ammo was much cheaper than that.
50cal is in the dollars per round for certain types of ammunition, less than ten cents a bang is bloody cheap.
It once was, before gun companies and ammo manufacturers realized they could squeeze fud for all he's worth if they rant (through means such as the NRA) that someone is coming for your guns. Eight cents for 9mm is pre-craze prices. I think the last bulk buy I saw was more in the $0.15 range. .223 has also doubled, in my experience. .22lr went through the roof. It was once $20 for 500 rounds. Now I saw 200 for $30. The only ammo I can think of that hasn't changed greatly is shotgun shells.
9mm is currently like $0.22 per in 1000ct, .22lr is around $0.07, .223 is around $0.55.
9mm and .22lr are about 25% higher than pre-craze, .223 has kept the same price as during craze.
