Doom!! Gun ranges institute ammunition rationing due to "extreme ammo shortages"
"Gun ranges are being forced to implement rationing policies in order to keep enough ammunition to meet some customer demand due to a prolonged ammunition shortage the likes of which many industry employees say they have never seen.

Blue Ridge Arsenal Inc. in Chantilly, Va. is one such range. For the last few months, they have limited customers to one ammunition box per shooting lane, no matter the number of people shooting on one lane. Up to four people are permitted to shoot per lane.

“I never thought I would see the day in America when stores could not keep .22 ammo on the shelves,” an employee of Blue Ridge Arsenal, who wished not to be named, told The Daily Caller. “I have never seen anything like this.”"

Hm, that's an interesting theory for shortage.

I knew most vests couldn't stop a .223/5.56, but I wasn't aware they couldn't stop a .22LR either.

That is extremely interesting. Would it be fair to assume that the Kevlar vests are intended to stop rounds from a handgun?

I bought some ammo yesterday and was limited to 3, 20 rd. boxes of .223.

So, not just at gun ranges.

body armor has differing grades and constructions, the effectiveness varies with size and velocity.
I always recommend a titanium plate up front or better behind the first couple of layers of fabric.

In Haiti, U.N.M.I.H. 1994-95, My squad was on Dismounted Patrol in Delmas, and I got shot at by a perp with a 308 and he missed, hit the brick wall next to me and the fragments ricocheted threw my frag vest shattering two ribs, causing bone fragments to rip into my left lung.....ouch!

Kevlar/Frag vest just stop fragments, that it. .22lr, 5.56 ball, 7.62, 308, they just rip right threw kevlar and into you.

Once the criminal investigations and prosecutions begin of this evil regime, once deposed, we will find out all the truths.
The Right Policy is Always Conservative

"The danger to America is not Barack Obama, but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the Presidency. It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their president. The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails America . Blaming the prince of fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. The Republic can survive a Barack Obama, who is, after all, merely a fool. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools, such as those who made him their President." - Vaclav Klaus

Re: Doom!! Gun ranges institute ammunition rationing due to "extreme ammo shortages"
in AZ Scottsdale gunclub limits the amount of ammo you can buy if you are not using it at their range. said they get it consistently but they need to keep it in stock so that their patron have ammo to shoot at their range. but this is very old news. been like this for a while now.

titanium plate is the most made up shit i have ever heard. they use steel. thickness and quality determine what it will stock. i have some inch thick stuff that will slow down a .50. and i have some 1/4inch thick stuff that stops everything up to a .308

some steel takes multiple hits. some cracks if they were cut wrong. but titanium is the biggest load of BS i have ever heard .

Re: Doom!! Gun ranges institute ammunition rationing due to "extreme ammo shortages"
i say its due to mass hysteria and buying. people are buying everything they can find. it will put ranges out of business so they ration it out. every single seller i have met. gets shipments in regularly. and this isnt something i read online. this is what i hear at every single gunstore. the get the ammo.. but crazy preppers and doomtards buy it all up the second it hits the shelves.
