This client is using them to test fatigue, wear, viable life of BCGs for their AR15 carriers. There is no simulation here, it has to simply be done old school. They put an upper on a machine gun lower and do mag dumps all day long. They are a prominent AR manufacturer, so wasting barrels, etc is just part of the process for R&D.
That's about how many they are shooting per month because that's all they can get right now. I will be supplying said client 10K 9mm 147gr rounds per month as well. All in all this client will possibly be buying between 20,000-40,000 rounds of various ammunition from me per month. If you want to make big money you think big orders and big quantities. Client came to be asking about 5,000 rounds. Sure, no problem. Few hours later said 10,000 rounds monthly starting ASAP. I'll get the stuff ordered and start loading. Calls back again and says OK we'll take 10K now, 20K when that first 10K ships and then we'll probably take about 20K monthly after that. Just put us in the production schedule, call us when it's ready to ship and we'll pay over the phone. Consider it done. That's how we roll.
