Wow, that is hard to believe a shortage on 7.62x39.

What he's trying to say is that there is not a shortage in the classic sense; the suppliers are still making cartridges, the importers are just not importing them, presumably in a hope to drive up demand so they can sell what they subsequently import for just silly amounts of money. Your classic shortage is supply not keeping up with demand, as in the suppliers cannot make an item fast enough to slake demand. So yes, there is a shortage, but it is, seemingly, an artificial one.Sorry, if it's not available, there's a shortage.Ripoff, maybe. Increase in price, absolutely. Shortage, no.
Diversify, gentlemen.
Pentagon chiefs have asked arms suppliers for a quote on a vast amount of ordnance, including more than 78 million rounds of AK47 ammunition, 100,000 rocket-propelled grenades and 12,000 tank shells. . .Defence specialists said Russian arms chiefs at first "fell about laughing" because they thought the order was a joke when it arrived this month.
