What is up with the government buying up all the 5 7 28 mil ammo?

I want an answer to why this happened. That load is just as easy to get as 9mm. And ya, it does make me a tad nervous. I never would have known if I didn't have a particular gun, neither would all of you. Love me, hate me, I just gave you verifiable facts the government cleaned out EVERY source for the round THEY use.

If you call, you'll know for yourself.

Well since you're lazy. Contact a Military installation or a large Metro Police Dept like LAPD. Contact the Range Officer in Charge tell'em you have a P90 and see if they will spot ya some reloads. The only dilema you might have is they may require you to qualify with it first, lol.

Out of stock.

And btw I just love to shoot guns and blow shit up. Just because I enjoy that does not mean I'm a paranoid survivalist. That's assuming quite a lot don't cha think.

If I were paranoid we'd of already dug the cellar.

What is up with the poster SEE3772....Making statements like.....

Fake war on terrorism
US continues to fund Al Qaeda
This is one of the reasons I won't be in America much longer
And America is the most fucked up country around....I say, I hear real estate prices are just perfect, try Iran, Syria, many places in Africa or South America
Blah, blah, blah

I think this is the 2nd or 3rd time he has stated he won't be sticking around US

Yet he still has time to be posting stuff on a hooker board, how funny

So what's the delay, having a hard time finding the right airline ticket???

I say, stop your brinkering, and just go...and don't let the door, hit ya, where God split ya!!!

[LovingKayla]

The stuff he posts is actually very informative and I appreciate the time he takes to post the links. I don't agree with a fake war on terrorism, because even if the governement is not actually doing what they are susposed to do, there are plenty of Americans out there that take it very seriously.

And you tree huggin fruit loops couldn't do all your peace chants if it weren't for folks that have the guns to protect your protesting ass.


Any one else find that ammo? It's still out of stock everywhere.

5.7x28 is not a caliber typically utilized by any branch of the United States armed services. Vast majority of our trigger pullers use 5.56x45mm rifle cartridge. M16A4 and M4.

There is no military that even has a standard-issue weapon that utilizes 5.7x28 that I am aware of....maybe Belgium. In fact, there are only a few weapons manufactured for the caliber. FN makes the P90 and the Five Seven pistol. Other than that, a few specialty manufacturers make a few weapons on the caliber but not in large numbers.

I dunno if the ammo is scarce or not. If it is, it's not because of military applications in the middle east. We don't use it.

Timpage. False. 5.7 is THE main choice in the military. Don't you ever watch the military channel? Of course it's not the only one but it's a super biggie. I appreciate the pm's guys. The closest thing I can find is an auction site.

I like the idea of getting casings from the military. They won't but it's a great idea.

Well, no it's not. I'll confess I don't know what the military channel is saying about the topic, but I do know that the standard issue small arms for the four major branches of the US military are:

1. M16A4: 5.56mm
2. M4: 5.56mm
3. M249SAW: 5.56mm
4. M240: 7.62x51mm
5. M2HMG: .50 BMG
6. M9: 9mm

Most of the standard issue sniper rifles are 7.62x51mm as well, with quite a few Barrett .50BMG's thrown in, and even some 338 Lapua. There are some m14's out there too...again, that's 7.62x51mm.

There are no 5.7 caliber weapons issued as standard kit to US forces. Again, there may be an ammo shortage for this caliber...if there is, it is not because US military forces are using that ammunition in the middle east....or any where else.

For your simple mind that doesn't know shit about context or circumstances.

If no soldier violates his/her oath, it would be over quickly. Very quickly.

Soldiers have no obligations to the civilians of the US. None.

Assuming the officers issue lawful orders, your stupid statement casts further doubt on your claims of ever having worn our country's uniform.

"I, _____, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God." (Title 10, US Code; Act of 5 May 1960 replacing the wording first adopted in 1789, with amendment effective 5 October 1962).

Read the first line of that oath again and then go read the Constitution.
