I will second this! A few weeks ago I found a couple of Buffalo Bore boxes in the trash can at the local range. Curiousity peaked (this were HUGE boxes) I picked one up to read. .500 S&W? .454 Casull? .45-70 Hardcast? Nope, none of the above. .380 ACP!I think Buffalo Bore may top the inefficient packaging list. Cardboard over a plastic box with a slab of foam inside that is 3x the size it needs to be.
But will the vending machine let me fondle the gun first and tell me how awesome it is, and how its cousin the soda machine has the exact same one and loves it?A simple calculation would tell you exactly how many rounds you were getting. People are just used to buying ammo by the 50 ct., that paradigm could be shifted toward buying it by the pound or kilogram. It would be great to have an ammo vending machine. I'd love to see a vending machine for firearms. Just scan your passport and receive your G17. Paperwork is automatically filed. This works well in my own utopia, and will be my first order of business when I can afford to purchase my own small country. Of course you're all invited.
