Lets just say I've got a s***load in 40 S&W, 357 mag, 38 spl, 7.62x39, 22 mag, 22 LR, 30 carbine and 12 gauge.
Question I have about all this ammo.
No really if you got 3,000 rounds do you think you are going to defend yourself against 3,000 people??
I read something by Jeff Cooper a while back on Guadal Canal. His story was that when they issued out ammo on a daily basis most of the men took 20 rounds. Think about it.

Not if I don't practice and do so regularly and you know what, that requires...wait for it.... AMMUNITION!Question I have about all this ammo.

In Iraq we don't go anywhere with less than 255 rounds per person and usually a bit more. Think about that.

? Not sure I understand, you think you will need 3000 rounds for home defense? That seems excessive in anything but the most extreme times. Maybe the ammo can be used for things other than HD?
JustJim: While I was in Iraq most engagements were very short, 5-20minutes in duration with maybe 120 rounds fired by the squad. But some firefights lasted half a day or longer with the longest being three days of running firefights with over 4000thousand rounds fired by my platoon from rifles and belt fed MGs.
From that experince I found out you can never have enough ammo on hand. Your pucker factor increases when your PL uses a captured PK MG against a squad of insurgents.
