Re: How Much Ammo is Enough? 500? 2,500? 10,000+?
I realize there are those who believe in storing hundreds of thousands of rounds of ammunition for a zombie apocalypse, but with the recent COVID-induced panic prep buying, ammunition has become quite expensive.

Just yesterday I added another 1,000 rounds of 9mm to my supply, but it set me back $325.

So I’m curious.....

For MOST people.... for your Average Joe.... how much ammo do YOU think is enough?

500 rounds?

1,000 rounds?

5,000 rounds?

How much is enough?

.
 Quoting: Am Yoo Nishin 77432258


22LR: Minimum of 20K rounds

9mm: Minimum of 5K rounds

223: Minimum of 10K rounds

7.62x39: Minimum of 5K rounds

45ACP: Minimum of 2K rounds

32ACP: Minimum of 200 rounds

380ACP: Minimum of 500 to 1K rounds

Also have reloading equipment + a good store of reloading supplies.

If possible: Have bullet casting equipment + alloy/lead

well..tough one..I think 500 rounds is good. Remember, you need storage and if you have to move about, 10k rounds might be a little hard to cart around.

There’s no such thing as too much ammo.

The answer is simple really. Where are you located and is that your last stance. If you are digging in somewhere in the city, then as much as possible. If you have plans to go somewhere else, then stockpiling to much is dumb unless you're stockpiling at the other destination.

Just obey, it's far more simple than taking the mountains or being on the road constantly in fear of your lives, it's a simple word, obey to what they ask and you will be fine, you will live with less, you will have more safety, less freedom but you will be like now, it's a simple word, obey.

And everything starts from the mask, wear the flacking mask you floofs...LOL!

Look around you how everybody is happy and go on with their lives, no one has a problem with them, obey, do the vaccine if need be, live with less, you'll get fit also, you will buy less ammo and guns as first priority will be food and paying the bills, and they will be lot, so just obey and save the day.

At some point, it gets ridiculous.

I sold my house and moved 2 years ago. Right around the same time, my Dad died, so I had all of his stuff to deal with.

So now, I have my ammo fort, and his ammo fort, all stuffed in a storage unit.

When you have to rent a separate UHaul truck just to move ammo, it's fucking retarded. But here I am. I still have many spam cans of 7.62x39 from the 90s that I'll probably never open. Buckets full of 357 Mag that will never get shot. Fucking cases of 22 lr that still have Walmart pricetags from 25 years ago

Unless you plan on patrolling the streets of Afghanistan, 1000 rounds of 5.56 should be enough. But if you're a Shit shooter than as much as you want.

 Quoting: Christ/Einstein reincarnated 73389363


in current English it's;
> You shall not murder

"kill" in the KJV
> Thou shalt not kill

means "murder",
in the forms of manslaughter, 1st, 2nd, and 3rd degree murder

self defense, and capital punishment isn't murder

A bullet for every second you expect to be alive for about 3 days...after that fatigue will most likely take over. The amount also should be calculated for having someone at watch....and having that someone turn on you..[so even ammo hidden is necessary]
