So as the title stated what percent of USA ammo is imported? From where? What about Russian ammo? Can Russia really account for 30-40% of the American ammo supply?
I keep hearing about people panicking about the Russian ammo ban. I've seen people claiming that anywhere between 30-40% of the American ammunition supply is from Russia but I can't find any hard numbers on it. To me any foreign country importing more then 15% of the total American ammo supply sounds dubious considering that Turkey, France, Germany, Italy, England, Hungary, Brazil, etc. all produce and import ammo here. If those seven countries were each responsible for 4% of the American ammo supply, and Russia was responsible for 30-40%, that would mean America only produces 32% of its own ammo supply. That and it would mean upwards of 66% or 2 out of 3 rounds in America are produced elsewhere. That sounds crazy.
If Russia is responsible for 30-40% of the American ammo supply 1 in 3 bullets in America are made in Russia. That sounds crazy. Perhaps they mean Russia is responsible for 30-40% of the ammo imported to America in a given year and not 30-40% of the American ammo supply total.
Does what I'm saying make sense? It seems absurd to me that Russia or any country could be responsible for importing so much ammunition here.
