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.
Let's see. 1.6 billion rounds divided by 5 years is 320 million rounds per year, which is 21 times what the training centers expend in a normal year.

So what do they do with the other 20?
