This video discusses the significant quantity of ammunition an active shooter might consume. The speaker explains that 60,000 rounds of 9mm ammunition, part of a larger 80,000-round stockpile, are not for doomsday prepping but for extensive professional shooting. Estimates suggest this volume could last approximately 24 months of regular use before needing replenishment.

This video explores the cost-saving benefits of multi-caliber firearms and conversion kits. The presenter demonstrates how to convert a Glock 23 (.40 S&W) to shoot 9mm using a conversion barrel and discusses similar conversions for a Glock 22 and a Beretta 92FS to .22 LR. The focus is on maximizing firearm utility and reducing shooting costs through caliber versatility.

This video details the installation of 9mm conversion barrels for Glock Gen 5 .40 S&W pistols (Glock 22, 23, 27). The process involves a simple slide disassembly and barrel swap, allowing users to shoot less expensive and lower-recoil 9mm ammunition from their .40 caliber firearms. The presenter, Lenny McIll from Glock Store Performance and Custom Shop, emphasizes the cost savings, reduced recoil, and increased ammo availability as key benefits.

This guide details the installation of the CMMG .22LR Conversion Kit into a standard AR-15 platform. The process involves removing the existing bolt carrier group and inserting the conversion unit. The video emphasizes the cost-effectiveness of .22LR ammunition for training and introduces new shooters to the AR platform with reduced recoil. It also highlights compatibility nuances, particularly for Mk57 platforms.

This guide covers best practices for both short-term and long-term ammunition storage. Short-term focuses on mobility and convenience for range trips or emergency situations, recommending products like MTM ammo cans and Vertex range bags. Long-term storage emphasizes protecting ammunition from environmental factors like humidity and moisture using sealed containers and desiccant packs, while also advising on ammunition rotation to maintain readiness and mitigate rising costs.

This video details the decision to start reloading shotgun shells due to escalating ammunition prices. The presenter outlines the components needed, calculates per-shell costs, and demonstrates the basic reloading steps. The focus is on 410 bore initially, with plans to expand to 12 and 20 gauge.

This review covers the installation and performance of the CMMG .22 conversion kit for the AR-15 platform. The host, nsz85, demonstrates a straightforward installation process and tests the kit's reliability with Federal and CCI .22LR ammunition. The review highlights significant cost savings on ammunition and reduced recoil, making it an excellent option for new shooters or practice.
