I am reminded of the apocryphal tale:
> Shortly before World War I, the German Kaiser was the guest of the Swiss government to observe military maneuvers. The Kaiser asked a Swiss militiaman: 'You are 500,000 and you shoot well, but if we attack with 1,000,000 men what will you do?' The soldier replied: 'We will shoot twice and go home.'
Having a stock of ammo is sometimes more about making it through droughts of ammo availability and still being about to out and train/practice regularly. Supposedly over the last few months there's been limited ammo availability?
