NYPD orders officers to turn in their bullets in ammunition recall​

The NYPD issued a department-wide recall of its 9 mm ammunition this week after it was discovered that a bad batch of bullets was failing to fire properly, the Daily News has learned.

The recall was issued on Jan. 5 and all officers who received 9 mm ammo from the department between Dec. 19 and Wednesday were ordered to report to the outdoor range on Rodman’s Neck and return them for a new cache of bullets.

“Bring all affected ammunition to the Outdoor Range on all three platoons with any and all ammunition issued from 12/19/22 through 01/04/23,” the order, sent out by the NYPD Training Bureau, indicated.

"The NYPD confirmed the recall which was done after learning that “a very limited quantity was not consistently discharging during training,” a department spokeswoman said."

"None of the bad bullets were discharged in public and no one was injured as a result of the faulty ammo, the department said."

LMAO ...

you can't make this shit up ..

PS.. Cartridge's that fail to fire .. were not used in public ..

Or, since they are just just failure to fire, mix them in during training, so you can train for a failure to fire...

Failure to fire at the range is a just training opportunity. It's only on the street or in the woods that a click instead of a bang is a problem.

From what I remember, the dumb motherfuckers can't hit shit anyway, regardless of the ammo condition.

With a 12 - 15 pound trigger, I HIGHLY doubt most here would be able to hit shit either.

No shit. Was at a range recently that also sells handguns. Had a really nice former troopers firearm for sale very cheap ( 300 or so) in good condition. Asked to see it. Holy hell is that trigger pull ridiculous. Back on the shelf....no thanks.

If it's a good deal, it's not hard or expensive to swap back to the right trigger.

Bet you'd do a lot better with a 4 or 5 lb trigger.

This is another case where some policy meant to improve safety actually decreases it.

The number of additional accidental discharges that would happen if the trigger was the right weight is probably less than 1 in a decade.

The increased danger from less accurate fire is far far worse.
