Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By GlocksareGood:
First we must define what an "ammo whore" is. I put forth this definition. Ammo Whore - A person that has a supply of ammo on hand, that if they continued to shoot at a level of at least 50% of normal, would not run out of ammo for the next 15+ years. I think this works better. I mean, if a person only shoots his one Ar15 say five times a year and fires a total of 1000 rounds, but has 10k of XM-193 on hand, that guy is an ammo whore. If the same person now shoots his M16 10 times a year and burns 5k of XM-193 and has 10k on hand he is not an ammo whore. The definition also takes into account the fact that if we could not get ammo any more for whatever reason we would all cut back to save what we have. So what do you guys think? Maybe we can come together here and come up with the ARFCOM 1st theorem of ammo whoring. |
