This video explains why ammunition feels scarce despite full shelves, attributing it to persistent high raw material costs, increased military demand consuming production capacity, and reduced competitive pressure from cheaper imports. New ammunition technologies like composite cases have not significantly impacted consumer prices due to production scale limitations and trust issues. The market has stabilized at a higher price point where consumers buy less, creating the perception of scarcity.
This video from RECOILtv features Iain Harrison testing True Velocity's 6.8 TVCM composite-cased ammunition, originally developed for the Army's NGWS program. The review highlights the ammunition's innovative construction, reduced heat transfer, and performance characteristics, demonstrated on the Knight's Armament AMG machine gun. Expert insights from Jack Leuba of Knight's Armament and Iain Harrison of RECOIL Magazine provide a deep dive into the technology and its implications for future small arms development.
