    The Dept of Commerce (NOAA's momma) has its own police force, as does just about every federal agency, and NOAA has several uniformed services including their own fleet of ships and aircraft. Relax guys, worry about DHS' 1.2M rounds and leave the 46K to NOAA alone

    1.2B, not M.

    The comment about buying in bulk, receive over time makes a lot of sense.

    Still, 1.2B can't all be for duty carry/use. Why are we paying for that many carry loads for targe practice (if true)

    Some federal ranges require frangible, lead free ammunition. Most requals and regular practice is with duty ammunition. Train like you fight. I certainly never feel like I get enough ammunition issued to me

    The guys i know @ FLETC [ a few]run drills day in day out, depending on who is training and why. All depts who train there run full a spectrum of firearms, semi [ long and hand] and select fire [short and long]. My brother was known to run 3-5k min. over the weekend, that was hand gun, add what he fired through the MP5's and other entry weapons, it's a lot.
    How many here have attended advanced if not basic live fire classes where the requirements were
    250 rounds of handgun
    500-1000 rifle.
    These were basic and bringing more was the norm for most students.
    Multiply 1-2k of ammo per student x 2-5 days, times year round training, times number of training centers throughout the country. It adds up real quick. Do not forget this MASSIVE AMMO buy you're freaking out over, also includes the LE's and agents in the field, worldwide.

    FWIW: iT is interesting how much worrying and hand wringing there is here because the .gov made a massive [ to say the least] ammo order.
    YET.......No one here blinks over buying 1- 2 K of ammo online. "YOU KNOW HOLMES HAD SIX THOUSAND ROUNDS OF AMMO"!!!! The media screamed
    Yet we agreed 6K was nothing.
    Oh The Irony
