People that CARRY Firearms are FEARFUL Cowards! (For Good Reason?)

This video details the firearms and ammunition commonly used by ICE agents. The standard sidearm is the Sig Sauer P320C in 9mm, with a contract extending through 2027. For duty ammunition, agents utilize Speer Gold Dot 124 grain jacketed hollow point rounds. The video also mentions M4 carbines and Remington 870 shotguns as other potential firearms.

The US military is internally discussing a potential shift away from 9mm ammunition due to its perceived ineffectiveness on the battlefield when restricted to full metal jacket (FMJ) rounds mandated by the Hague Convention. Unlike civilian self-defense ammunition, military FMJ lacks significant terminal ballistics, leading to overpenetration and reduced incapacitation. This potential switch could significantly impact civilian 9mm ammo availability, as the Lake City plant is a major supplier.

The US military is internally discussing a potential shift away from 9mm ammunition due to its perceived ineffectiveness on the battlefield when using standard ball ammunition, which is mandated by the Hague Convention. This conversation stems from historical issues with handgun rounds against body armor and military-style rifles. A switch could significantly impact civilian ammunition availability, as the Lake City plant supplies a large volume of 9mm to the civilian market. The speaker suggests that while 9mm is popular for civilian self-defense due to available advanced ammunition and faster follow-up shots, military requirements differ.

The video discusses the current state of ammunition availability, differentiating between a true shortage and panic buying. It highlights that while some limitations exist for popular calibers like 9mm and 5.56, the situation is not as severe as past shortages. The primary driver for potential price increases and limited availability is identified as the high demand for copper by data centers, coupled with past import restrictions on Russian ammunition.

The US military is reportedly considering a switch from 9mm ammunition due to its perceived ineffectiveness on the battlefield, particularly when using standard Full Metal Jacket (FMJ) rounds mandated by the Hague Convention. This contrasts with civilian use where hollow-point ammunition is legal and highly effective. A military caliber change could significantly impact civilian 9mm ammunition availability, as a large portion is produced at the Lake City plant for both military and civilian markets.
