Agencies tamp down speculation over hollow-point ammo purchases | Fox News
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration also bought over 40,000 rounds of hollow point ammunition. Here's their excuse:
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration also bought over 40,000 rounds of hollow point ammunition. Here's their excuse:
According to NOAA, the specialized agents are supposed to have 200 rounds in their "duty bag," and qualification and training requires another 500-600 rounds per agent.
I get that these agencies have their own special law enforcement agents, but can someone please tell these ninjas that FMJ will work just fine for killing paper targets? Must be nice to force the citizenry to buy you unnecessarily expen$ive ammo.

If you were in the military you would understand that we have contracts with people to buy these things. As NOAA is an extension of the Navy and partners with the coast guard they piggy back off of our contracts all the time since there are roughly 300 personnel in NOAA.

As stated above. If we already have a contract with company A from a year ago an we need ammunition then company A must fill the order. That is how a contract works. I totally agree with you isnt it a waste for targets but that is how companies screw the military and government and essentially you and I out of tax money.

Heres a better example on how your tax money is wasted. A contract with day Lockheed Martin is in effect. I am forced to buy a hard drive from them instead of some where cheap like new egg or best buy or wherever. So I could pay 100 dollars for a new one but since we have a contract with them I must pay 5k a piece for the same HDD from them instead. ****ed up yes. Expensive yes but that is your congressmen and women employing these people and lining their pockets.

IMO, the answer depends on how many weapons, magazines, and people in the household. A few like-calibre weapons, a couple people, and 5-10 extra mags for each firearm......1K to 2k rounds would be my target.
