American civilians buy as many AK47s as the Russian military and police... and demand is surging because gun owners fear they will be banned
American civilians are buying as many AK47s from Russia's top armory as the Russian military and police.


The surge in sales of Russian assault rifles and shotguns are fuelled by firearms enthusiasts who are paranoid about the weapons being banned in the United States.


The semiautomatic weapons, fitted with high-capacity magazines, are manufactured at Izhevsk Machinebuilding Plant, Russia's primary small arms factory

7.62mm ammo is very expensive at about $1.00 a round.
An AR-15 is a much better choice than an AK-47.

you are an idiot for thinking 7.62x51 (.308), which the ar-10 chambers, is the same as 7.62x39 which the ak chambers. x39 is much cheaper than x51. Good day

Guns withOUT ammo are like cars without gasoline. Pretty pieces of very well machined metal :-)

It makes little difference how many guns are out there if ammo becomes restricted since over time most of the existing stock of ammo would be used up via shooting at the gun range, learning to shoot, etc. etc..

How many people actually have enough ammo stored to provide for their recreational and learning needs for the next 10 years?

Virtually NONE!!


Only a few survivalists would, and it would be a very very small number of even the survivalists.

How many rounds would it take to maintain enough so that one could still have a functional weapon after a 10 year "NEW" ammo ban (and a ban on th ematerials for reloading? Probably on the order of 10,000 rounds for EACH weapon, more for those who shoot recreationally on a regular basis.

(some ex military supply officers tell me that the US Military used to figure that an average infantryman used on average 300 rounds per day when on a combat assignement. I don't know if that is still the rule of thumb, but in any case that shows how fast ammo can be used up when it is absolutely needed in a military setting)

Forget the number of guns ... and look at the ammo supply. Guns without ammo are like cars without gasoline. Pretty pieces of well machined metal.
