It says there for customs/immigration maybe they think more violence will spread to the borders. They could also be used to cull half the country.

Maybe it's for people trying to escape the country .

Read the contract properly you fool.

"The guaranteed minimum of any contract awarded is 10,000 rounds and is applicable to the base year only."

There isnt an actual order for 165 mill you numpty, its an estimate. This is atndard procedure in a contract that if needed in time of war that they are capable of supplying the higher amount.

This is standard across any civi - military arms contract.

It clearly states in what you linked "Minimum and Maximum Tresholds", and you even spelt that wrong buddy.

Get educated on a subject before you post it in future.

Re: AGAIN new orders from DHS : 165 million rounds of 223 and pepper spray
But eh, nothing is going on...

223 remington :
[link to www.fbo.gov (secure)]
.223 Remington Caliber SD (62 grain)
Solicitation Number: HSCEMS-12-R-00015
Agency: Department of Homeland Security
Office: Immigration & Customs Enforcement


From the document :
[link to www.fbo.gov (secure)]
Minimum and Maximum Tresholds: The contract or contracts for .223 Remington Caliber SD awarded under this solicitation will have a base period of one year, plus four one-year options. The guaranteed minimum of any contract awarded is 10,000 rounds and is applicable to the base year only. The estimated amount over the 5 year duration of the contract will be 165,000,000 rounds.

165 million round over 5 years = 33 million round/year... or half the consumption of the US army in a war zone (Iraq)... and that is just .223...


And pepper spray..
[link to www.fbo.gov (secure)]
13--PEPPER SPRAY
Solicitation Number: PR20071101
Agency: Department of Homeland Security
Office: Customs and Border Protection
Location: Procurement Directorate - DC



Nothing is going on folks... NOTHING... GOT IT??? lmao

This is just their way of having gun control. What use are out guns if they continue to buy up all the ammo? Then they never took away our right to have guns. We just can't use them. militia

I pride my self in being a good shooter. The shooter is moving, the target is moving, fully automatic and high adrenaline do not make for clean one-shot kills. I have never tried this type of shooting but could imagine a low shot-to-kill ratio.

His heart burst out the front of his chest cavity and onto the wall and he slid down, leave a huge blood trail. He can no longer shoot his M1 Garand at our Convoys. His bullet hit 3 feet from me on the passenger front. ;-)

I thought the DHS would be using the military M4 and not the AR15 that way they could use miltary/ NATO spec ammo which is plentiful.

Is the DHS trying to drive up ammo prices by causing a shortage or is it prepping for something bigger?

.223 and 5.56 are virtually the same chamber, my AR shoots both, and more than likely, service weapons do too. .223 is a bit cheaper though for some reason...

Has anyone considered this? Maybe they are planningon federalizing the police forces in the country and are buying all this ammo for that. Anyone noticed if theyve been buying anything else in bulk? Duty gear? Uniforms? Ect?

Are these rounds for armed aerial drones?

Re: AGAIN new orders from DHS : 165 million rounds of 223 and pepper spray
I guess theres no gun nutz on yet... 62grain are penatrator rounds!

(Wiki snip)


"The 5.56×45mm NATO cartridge with the standard 62 gr. steel core bullets (NATO: SS109; U.S.: M855) will penetrate approximately 15 to 20 in (38 to 51 cm) into soft tissue in ideal circumstances. As with all spitzer shaped projectiles it is prone to yaw in soft tissue. However, at impact velocities above roughly 2,500 ft/s (760 m/s), it may yaw and then fragment at the cannelure (the crimping groove around the cylinder of the bullet).[15] These fragments can disperse through flesh and bone, inflicting additional internal injuries."

So um yeah... thats what they are refering to. Funny tho... the same ones I buy! :)
Game on bitchezzzzz
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 16136779


Not necessarily correct, they could be barrier rounds.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 16136779


If your a shooter.......understand this, 223 or 5.56 Barrier rounds are far superior to any other loading including the green tip 5.56 "penetrater" loading's if engaging an individual through glass or car doors etc....... totally different animal. Apples and watermelons would be a better analogy.
