US ammunitions company to send 1M bullets to Ukraine

Recommended Posts

Looks like there is ammo out there, I know 1 million isn't a lot in the grand scheme, but still.

Would guess it's 7.62, Aren't most of them AK in Ukraine. 

Does anyone buy from Ammo Inc.

Didn't realize the owner was associated with Nascar, one of the few sports I still watch, that might change in the future with all the celebrities joining ownership, hope it doesn't lead them to the cancel culture side.

Here is where 1 million rounds of ammo stands in the grand scheme of things.

According to a 2002 study prepared for the US Army's Center for Army Analysis by the Dupuy Institute, the average daily expenditure of ammo by the 2nd Infantry Division for the dates of 24 August 1944 to 20 September 1944 (28 days) are as follows:  

30 cal ball ammo (carbine) 1,441.07

30 cal ball ammo (B.A.R.)  1,553.57

30 cal ball ammo (M1 rifle) 22,050.29

30 cal  ball ammo (MG) 16,491.07

45 cal ball ammo (M1911, M1 & M3 SMGs) 3,578.57

Rocket, AT HE (Bazooka ) 41.68

Grenade, Hand Frag 423.29

Adapter, Grenade Proj.  77.93

Grenade, Rifle, Smoke, W.P.  16.29

Grenade, Offensive (concussion) 16.04

Grenade, Smoke 37.61

Grenade, Rifle, Anti-tank 89.57

60mm Mortar 826.71

81mm Mortar 1367.04

57mm Anti-tank 65.07

105mm Howitzer, M3  408.25

105mm Howitzer, M2  1896.84

155mm Howitzer, M1  471.82

The dates for which this data was collected are the 2nd Infantry Divisions participation in the assault on the German occupied French port city of Brest a couple months after the D-Day landings.  The city was very heavily fortified and garrisoned by 40,000 German soldiers with orders to hold the city to the last bullet.  The fighting was ferocious.  The US suffered nearly 10,000 casualties and killed or captured the entire German garrison, destroying the entire city in the process. 

The same study reports the average daily expenditure of ammo by the 90th Infantry Division for the dates of 1July 1944 to 31 July 1944 (31 days) as follows:

30 cal ball ammo (Carbine) 7,251.52

30 cal ball ammo (B.A.R.) 9,855.23

30 cal ball ammo (M1 Rifle) 27,885.90

30 cal ball ammo (MG) 30,382.90

45 cal ball ammo (M1911, M1 & M3 SMGs) 2,611.39 

Rocket, AT HE (Bazooka) 42.71

Grenade, Hand Frag 512.06

Adapter, Grenade Proj. 17.19

Grenade, Rifle, Smoke W.P. 74.52

60mm Mortar 511.77

81mm Mortar 2,209.55

57mm Anti-tank 65.48

105mm Howitzer (M3) 450.77

105mm Howitzer (M2) 2,577.81

155mm Howitzer (M1) 346.81

The dates for which this info was collected are the 90th Infantry Divisions participation in the 3rd Army's offensive push out of the Cotentin Peninsula further into occupied France shortly after the D-Day landings.

My big question is if ammo inc's donation will have a positive effect on their stock price.

It's like about a day and a half's production.  They make about 750k rounds a day.  They got a TON of free media from their donation.  Priceless.  Good business move.

According to Fox News video attached, the company has been flooded by calls and emails as to how people can help.  So now "a flood" of people know who they are.
