the feds hate spending money on practice rounds. Perhaps drying up the supply lines instead
200k employees not all of them armed would take a long time to use up that much
Yup. Same reason why the USAF flies all the time - practice.

AFAIK, those ammo contracts are for "up to" X amount.
There's no commitment on the part of the government to buy eleventy billion rounds of ammo in those multi-year, multi-million dollar contracts. They're usually just written that way to allow agencies to purchase what they need, and not have to write a new contract as often when they need more.
E.g. a potential $210M Army contract - https://www.fbo.gov/...tab=core&_cview=1 FWIW. Cheers, Scott. |
