On a side note: I still can't understand why I was trusted with a select fire M4 with a detachable 30rd magazine (or "clip" as the liberal "gun experts" call it) while in uniform but now that I am a civilian I can't be.

Federal solicitations to buy the bullets are known as "strategic sourcing contracts," which help the government get a low price for a big purchase, says Peggy Dixon, spokeswoman for the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center in Glynco, Ga . The training center and others like it run by the Homeland Security Department use as many as 15 million rounds every year, mostly on shooting ranges and in training exercises.

I can see that. Hell, I know when my Troop (company size element) would go to the range we could easily expend 10-15k rounds on training. That was just 80-90 people. I know it sounds like a lot but lets just say some individuals in the Army can't hit the broad side of a barn or on the rare occasion, we withdrew ammo from the ASP and they told us not to bring live ammo back. That lead to a contest to see how many 30rd magazines an individual could dump in 2 mins. The guy that went through the most got out of doing PT the next morning.


I would expect the same for any agency that trains a large amount of individuals. 1.6 billion is a lot but if it saved them money in the long run I can understand the bulk purchase.
