There is the UK’s Wallace admitting that the Brirish arsenals are empty after sending all the ATGMs to Ukraine. Is Argentina listening?

The U.K probably doesn’t care about Ukraine and just sends some stuff to show Joe Biden.

I think the Argentines learned their lesson well several generations ago in their last Falkland wag-the-dog adventure.

When I was in Nam the standard ammo supply was considered 200 rounds for the M-16. However those with experience would forgo carrying a lot of other things and simply pack as much ammo as possible.

On our gunboats we were supposed to carry two boxes of ammo for each 50 cal. We’d pack 10 each. In combat ammo disappears at a prodigious rate. Far more is used than any estimates from REMFs. We even had some REMF tell us we were using too much ammo. Much hilarity ensued.

But a weeks supply of ammo is a weeks supply. This depends on need not some fantasy number invented by some college trained REMF.
