Guile will also be a necessity in the days ahead.

Okie dokie, that’s 3,870,794 total of production?

So since May 2016 was the only month so far that didn’t break the 2 million mark, let’s add April and June 2016 checks and sales which would exceed that annual German number you provided for 1944.

And we can be fairly sure that current German production, for Germany only, comes nowhere near that number.

i bought a different combo similar to your suggestion. It’s like a varmiter kit. Savage A22, 22 Mag rotary mag semi-auto, Scope, sling, tall bi-pod and 400 rounds all at Father’s Day pricing with tax out the door for 699.

Uses the same ammo as one of the household revolvers. 2200 FPS +/- and pretty flat to 200 yards.

“I’d love to see the numbers for ammunition.”

About guns and ammo; my advice is to stay away from the exotic calibers. Make sure you have handguns in 9mm, 45 acp, 22 rimfire. Rifles 5.56mm/223 caliber, 3006, 308, 22 rimfire. Ammo will become a highly valued commodity.

They can’t get 11 million illegal alien freeloaders to turn themselves in but they think they can get millions of American gun owners to turn in over 200 millions firearms. LOL! The Nazi ‘RATS are doing way too many recreational drugs.

Well, I didn’t count the 2,700,000 panzerfausts from 4th quarter 1944.

The most exotic caliber we shoot is .44 mag. I hand load a very civilized 210 grain JHP for Mrs. L over about 9 grains of Bullseye. It’s quite controllable out of a 4 inch 629.

I am guessing:

1) Quiet

2) can hit from a distance as opposed to 3 feet.

Indeed.

I do not recall purchasing any guns.

And anyway, what difference does it make?
