Videos tagged with Government Ammunition Contracts

This video, from GFG, forecasts that a future ammunition shortage will be significantly worse than the last one due to five key variables. These include more fragile global supply chains for raw materials like brass, primers, and powder, a consolidation of major ammunition manufacturers under fewer parent companies, faster and more prevalent panic buying due to recent memory, rising costs of materials and labor impacting production flexibility, and the critical factor of government and military contracts taking priority during wartime. The speaker, with an intermediate skill level, emphasizes that these combined factors could lead to an ammunition shortage occurring in a matter of hours, rather than weeks, especially if current global conflicts expand.

This video from Line45 explains the current dip in ammunition prices, attributing it to overproduction by manufacturers in 2023-2024 anticipating a demand surge that didn't materialize, coupled with significant government contracts. The speaker, Ted, advises against panic buying and instead advocates for a strategic, long-term approach to building an ammunition supply. He outlines a tiered stockpiling system and suggests reloading as cost-saving measures, emphasizing smart purchasing and preparation for future market fluctuations.
