When in Afghanistan in 2010 things were nasty, and that was with well trained Marines fighting farmers and poorly trained morons carrying 30+ year old enfields and AKs. To flip it around an expect a 40 year old overweight neck beard with at BEST a defensive handgun or rifle course under his belt to burn through hundreds or even thousands of rounds during a confrontation with other individuals or properly trained government troops is highly unlikely. I don’t understand how that logic escapes so many individuals. The average gunfight in the US is 3 shots fired within 7 yards, typically between two people. That means 3 rounds fired with a 50% chance of surviving. We can even round that down to to 25% chance of being wounded, 25% chance of being killed. To go through 100 rounds means you do roughly 33 gunfights, and the unweighed probability of getting through all of them alive is roughly 1 in 17 billion. Store up a couple hundred rounds in case you need them for whatever reason, and let everyone else enjoy shooting as well.Granted, I want 10k-20k+ of each caliber I shoot and 100k each of 9mm and 22LR rounds, but that’s simply because I want to buy now, and never have to buy ammo again. Not only does it keep things simple but it prevents me from having to purchase ammo at a higher price later on.Edit: just kidding, my math was off. It’s a 1 in 4.294 billion chance. That’s considerably better, but still extremely unlikely.</blockquote>
