AR 15 = 20-30 round AK 47 = 30 round AR 10 = 20 round M1A = 20 round HK 91 = 20 round M1928 Thompson = 20 Highcap magazine sizes: AR 15 = 50-100 round AK 47 = 50 round AR 10 = 50 round M1A = 50 round HK 91 = 50 round M1928 Thompson = 50 So 'standard' size mags are legal to hunt with but 'highcaps' aren't? |

- DHS To Purchase MORE Firearms As Arms Build-Up Intensifies Forbes asks if huge ammo buys should become “national conversation” Paul Joseph Watson, Prison Planet.com, March 11, 2013 Just days after announcing a 5-year, $4.5 million contract with Heckler & Koch, the Department of Homeland Security has released details of an identical agreement with weapons manufacturer Sig Sauer, as Forbes publishes an article calling for a “national conversation” about the DHS arms build-up that has been dismissed by the media as a conspiracy theory. A solicitation for a no bid contract posted on the Federal Business Opportunities website contains details of a DHS agreement with Sig Sauer to provide weapons parts under the remit of a $900,000 dollar a year contract set to run for five years. The PDF document accompanying the solicitation is virtually identical to an agreement announced last week for Heckler & Koch to provide firearms replacement parts for the exact same fee and time period. Despite our article drawing attention to the fact that the supposedly “redacted” figure of $4.5 million on the original agreement with Heckler & Koch was in fact visible, the same error appears in the Sig Sauer agreement, suggesting that only the name has been changed. Although controversy surrounding the DHS’ purchase of some 2 billion rounds of ammunition has dominated concerns about the federal government’s apparent arms build up, the DHS also purchased 7,000 fully automatic assault rifles last September. Despite the fact that some mainstream media outlets and leftist websites have tried to downplay concerns about the arms build up as paranoid conspiracy theories, the influential Forbes Magazine today features an article by Ralph Benko asking if the issue should become a “national conversation.” “At the height of the Iraq War the Army was expending less than 6 million rounds a month. 1.6 billion rounds, therefore, would be enough to sustain a hot war for 20+ years. In America,” states the article. “Why, indeed, should the federal government not be deploying armored personnel carriers and stockpiling enough ammo for a 20-year war in the homeland? Because it’s wrong in every way,” writes Benko. Not according to the likes of Media Matters, Huffington Post, the Atlantic Wire and others, all of which claimed the issue was “debunked” merely because a DHS spokesperson told the Associated Press that the ammo buys were made in bulk to “save money” on training bullets. As Benko points out, the federal agency has bought enough bullets to last for a century of target practice. In reality, most of the bullets purchased by the agency are hollow point rounds, which are more expensive than standard training bullets and therefore unsuitable for target practice. Last week, former Marine Richard Mason told reporters with WHPTV News in Pennsylvania, “We never trained with hollow points, we didn’t even see hollow points my entire four and a half years in the Marine Corps.” Those outlets reporting that the issue had been explained also failed to clarify how a single quotation from a representative of the very government agency being scrutinized could possibly mean that the matter had been adequately investigated and “debunked.” www.prisonplanet.com In WWII it took 10,000 rounds fired to inflict 1 enemy kill, during the Vietnam conflict it took about 87,000 rounds, in Iraq it takes 250,000 rounds, for current police tactics it takes approx 1,000 (per exposed nonmilitary 'civilian' target) Extrapolating that info, here are the number of kills those 2 billion rounds would produce: Iraq standards = 8,000 Vietnam standards = 22,988 WWII standards = 200,000 Police standards = 2,000,000 Now consider there are over 90 million current firearms owners in the U.S. holding over 300 million weapons and approximately 60 billion rounds of ammo. Firearms ownership could double, even triple without a single new firearm purchased. Using the pitiful 'Police standard' of 1,000/1, those 60 billion rounds would produce 60 million kills. Different perspective on things, huh?... research is your friend... |
