FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda 
.223 rifle ammo
Surprise! The DHS Immigration and Customs Enforcement have requested more ammunition. However, it is the type of ammunition and not necessarily the quantity that is troubling.
First on the agenda is the .223 rifle ammunition. Just a measly 40 million rounds in the first year, and another 160 million rounds in the following four years. 200,00 million rounds in
total. You know, just enough to make you cringe thinking that some
government office that is not military has more ammunition than you do.
The .223 caliber round is a decent hunting round, but that is not the rounds to be concerned about.
The .308 rounds should have you a bit concerned. Quite a bit concerned.
Why the .308? Because the same folks at DHS think they need two types of .308 caliber rounds. Blank ammunition and 168 grain hollow point boat tail ammunition.
The blank ammunition will be spread to five different locations in
the American south east and in Puerto Rico. The regular ammunition will
be spread all over the US in a variety of places
Blank ammunition? Why blank ammunition?
Well, as it turns out blank ammunition is fantastic for putting on a
show. Blank ammunition is used in theatrics (hmmm?) but also is used to
help teach new shooters to develop trigger and breathing control.
Nevertheless, have no fear; DHS only needs 25,000 rounds to develop good sniper skills.
They have also ordered 176,000 rounds of the .308 caliber hollow point boat tail (HPBT) rounds.
Boat tail ammunition is incredibly accurate ammunition. From the legal opinion from the US Navy JAG in support of using hollow point ammunition:
[?]marksmanship training units have established
unequivocally the superior accuracy of the M852 [M852 is the Sierra
MatchKing 168-grain match grade boat tail, ogival spitzer tip bullet
with an open tip].Army tests noted a 36% improvement in accuracy with
the M852 at 300 meters, and a 32% improvement at 600 yds; Marine Corps
figures were twenty-eight percent accuracy improvement at 300 m, and 20%
at 600yds.The National Guard determined that the M852 provided better
bullet groups at 200 and 600 yards under all conditions than did the
M118. [FNa1]
The good news
One of the theories posited by so many commentators is the extremely
large amount of ammunition purchased by the DHS. According to the same
legal opinion, it is because trained soldiers are horrible
sharpshooters:
Statistics from past wars suggest that this probability
figure may be optimistic. In World War II, the United States and its
allies expended 25,000 rounds of ammunition to kill a single enemy
soldier.In the Korean War, the ammunition expenditure had increased
four-fold to 100,000 rounds per soldier; in the Vietnam War, that figure
had doubled to 200,000 rounds of ammunition for the death of a single
enemy soldier. The risk to noncombatants is apparent.
Working the math out, that comes to only 7,600 people that DHS wants to kill, using the Korean War numbers. What luck!
The bad news
However, all of the “sniper” grade ammunition is being used by trained, or in-the-process-of-being-trained snipers.
The same legal opinion found that:
In contrast, United States Army and Marine Corps snipers in the Vietnam War expended 1.3 rounds of ammunition
for each claimed and verified kill, at an average range of six hundred
yards, or almost twice the three hundred meters cited above for combat
engagements by the average soldier.Some verified kills were at ranges
in excess of 1000 yards. This represents discrimination and military
efficiency of the highest order, as well as minimization of risk to
noncombatants.Utilization of a bullet that increases accuracy, such as
the MatchKing, would further diminish the risk to noncombatants.
That math comes out to be 135,384 potential kills for the snipers to make, using the 176,000 rounds of ammunition.
How well does the boat tail ammunition make the sniper? The following are recommendations of the MatchKing ammunition. Another review can be found here.
Still the best – 12/5/2010
Reviewer: mcgulfdrvr
I made a 4 shot 1/4 MOA open sight group @ 200M yesterday
12/4/10 at Okeechobee Shooting Sports with a NM M1A, using a fwd rest,
on a 12″ Dirty Bird Target.I purchased and shot for comparison; 308 SSA
175 Gr match ammo, Buffalo Bore .308 175 Gr. “Sniper”,7.62 AE 168 Gr.
M1A, and another Mfr.’s 7.62 M118LR in this rifle, a scoped M40 and a
Remington 700TWS on the same range with the same results. Nothing comes
close to the M118 offered here. Period.
And this is a fuller explanation of why boat tail ammunition is used:
The guys did get it right that it is a bullet with a
very, very small hollow point and a taper at the end that resembles the
stern of a sailboat.When a bullet flies though the air it needs to pierce the air in
front – and at speeds faster than 1080 feet per second they create a
vacuum on the end.The vacuum is a force that pulls the bullet in the
wrong direction… having a boat tail creates a smaller vacuum and the
bullet looses speed at a slower rate.HPBT bullets have a very thin copper jacket. They are not designed
for hunting because they radically expand when the hit anything.Send a
HPBT into the rear quarter of a deer – it will expand and turn the whole
quarter into a black jelly plasma – shell shock meat – totally useless.In the hands of a skilled marksman – you can use a HPBT for a
broadside shot at great distance – works awesome on caribou at 500
yards.In the hands of military sniper – the design of a HPBT allows them to
hit targets beyond the normal 600 yard limit that hunting bullets all
have.HPBT are pretty useless against light armor – FMJ will penetrate 2x to 4x more.
Bullets come in two flavors – ones with a cannelure, ones without.
We
use a taper crimp to hold the non-cannuleure to the brass for use in
semi-auto rifles… and a roll crimp on bullets with a cannelure for sue
in semi-auto rifles.The cannelure is just a small series of ridges and
have nothing what so ever to do with penetration.One last tidbit. HPBT bullets have a special speed where the perform
unusually well – 2850fps – you will notice that nearly all loaded ammo
with these bullets from 308 to 50BMG go this speed.Hope this helps. http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20110706185608AA6F4lK
As long as you are aware of what is being purchased, and for what
probable reason it may be purchased for, you will not be taken by
surprise when it happens.
The DHS needs to have an honest and open conversation with America as
to the Department?s intentions with the ammunition. Civilian, i.e. The
Public, should have complete oversight of the actions of DHS and the
agencies within its purview.
Anything less is a step towards tyranny.
