The real cost of ammo

[Boris Bush]

I bought my Kid some "ammo" for his nerf gun that shoots them foam darts.

$3.97 for 8 foam darts (they do glow in the dark though). That is EXPENSIVE for 8 rounds! I bought 200 real rounds for $36.84.

I guess real ammo prices aint that bad. Less than an hour outside and he already lost two, oh well........

yeah, but they can fire those foam darts again and again and again..... sorry dude, the world is against you.

Well, the gun's a lot cheaper so they have to get you on the ammo price. ;)

Even crazier was I went to the gunstore tonight. My favorite carry ammo was $3.00 less a box and ball ammo was down $1.00 a box! 40 and 45 prices were the same. The wife TOLD ME to get more ammo while I could get it cheaper!!

Now I have 600 rounds to shoot this weekend, sure am glad to be a loyal 9x19 fan, it is paying off

:tongueout:

I went from a G21 for IDPA to a G17, because the .45 ammo got to expensive.

Yes I have found I enjoy shooting a lot more when I don't spend a car payment shooting for a few hours on the weekend. Of course reloading is going to take some of the bite out of the wallet but I will essentially be paying myself to make ammo...

+1 for the 9mm!

Agreed.
9mm is not my prefered caliber but it is cheap(er) to shoot. period.
I don't lose a wink of sleep over carrying it for self defense either.
Of course that could be because my BUG is a .44 :supergrin:
