How much ammo do you keep on stock just incase?

[E the massive]

I’ve renounced my love of firearms and joined the Hari Krishna’s. In doing so my test of faith included throwing all my firearms and ammunition into the Hudson River.

I hate guns.

Fortunately I dont let it conflict with my love for magnet fishing.

Totally worth it if you got the outfit and haircut for free.

Quinoa, hummus and pita chips

When I look at my ammo storage and say "I think that's enough"
It's time to buy more.

 

[IrishMick]

Just 2 12ga shotgun shells....for my Double Barreled Biden Yeet Cannon....type of shot doesn't matter as I only intend to fire two blasts outside the house.

 

[Deplorable Me]

Is this a common core math quiz? There is no right answer.

 

[Depick]

Enough to give me the warm fuzzies.

 

[Xae289]

Enough of most things. Not enough large pistol primers.

Define "large pistol". I need to know, so I can explain it to my girlfriend.

Just put a magnifying glass up to a "regular" pistol. Note that some people call them "small pistol", but what do they know.

Pessimists, the lot of them.

I think we can all agree, in any sort of SHTF scenario less urban and more rural is almost always better.

Fewer people, who are generally more self reliant and therefore less likely to think they need to take your stuff, and more likely to have something to offer in trade for the stuff they do want.

Most of the valuable things your urban neighbors have are likely to be worthless in a serious SHTF situation.

Trading your rural neighbor some of the black pepper you have cached for some fresh vegetables they have in their garden could be a great deal for everyone.

The nice iPhone or laptop your urban neighbor wants to trade, not so much.

Agree to all of this. If a true SHTF were to occur...... A huge problem would occur because of the SHFT...

More and more City and Burb people would try to make if out to the sticks. Many, if not most of these people will bring nothing, no supplies, little in the way of protection and a whole shit load of ignorance. Can't find shelter, can't find food, can't build a fire, can't purify water.

This could turn really bad, hence the reason for a stock of ammo.

 

[GOPerfect]

Fresh out. Anyone got a few rounds to spare?

You sir, could not afford what I am charging.

 

[Podmonkey]

I have belt fed machine guns, a couple artillery pieces an M270A1 and an M1.........Abrams. Ooooh scary scary, the helicopter men are gonna come get me! Tomorrow I'm meeting with a guy in an alley to buy an Iowa class battleship.

They make a nice target for the Fast Attacks, but the Boomers get you respect.

 

[ICEMAN]

Not quite enough for a 30 day siege, but not worried about going to the range weekly.

Will be a nice safe queen, good luck finding ammo with the covid shortage......


What's a case of those 16 inch rounds go for these days anyway ?

Out of curiosity I spent 20 minutes searching for the answer to that but I couldn't find any official figures, just a bunch of speculation with numbers as varied from $1,000 to $3,500 to $10,000 in 1940s dollars.
I came across an anecdote claiming the cost of a 16" shell was similar to a Cadillac of that era.
If anyone knows what the cost of an American 16" naval shell was I would be interested to hear.
Complicating the matter is that there were two models of 16" gun in serviceat the time the 16"/45 caliber and 16"/50 caliber guns with the latter firing a heavier shell.

They're out of stock, but they used to actually have one for sale.

I would have loved to be able to put a pair at the end of the driveway

Hell of a thing to attach your mailbox to

They wouldn't even have useful skills to barter.

If Bridget the VP of HR for megacorp1 wants to barter her skills for some food, she's going to have to have some decidedly not HR approved approach to the negotiation.

Living with family who are descendants of a West Point general. Lots of cool stuff in house including a couple of lamps that were made from some large artillery shell casings. Not battleship size but very cool nevertheless.

I'll bet slip fees aren't cheap either

 

[Acer-m14]

i got more then then i can carry in my backpack ,, fucking 22LR gets heavy at 2500 rounds .. LOL ..

 

[Jmac00]

at first I thought I had enough ammo, and for the most part I do. But if Antifa and BLM continue there attacks, Im thinking I might come up short.

However, if things get really bad, I figure I can scavenge the battlefield/area and pickup ammo and weapons from the dead.

I have a variety of firearms/calibers, so Im going to be covered going forward

I skipped a training class last month because I didn't
want to drop another 1000+ rounds of 9mm and .380 between me and my wife.

That tells me I don’t have enough ammo.
