Americans buy 12 Billion rounds of ammo in the past year

11 years ago Main12 billion, american, americans, ammo, ammunition, billions, factories, hoarding, stores, united states, usa

In a typical year Americans buy between 7 and 10 billion rounds of ammunition.  In the past year they have bought 12 billion rounds.  It’s no secret that ammo is flying off store shelves faster than factories can produce it but it’s nice to see a number put on the hoarding. That equals about 150 rounds of ammunition bought by every gun owner in the United States or about 47 rounds of ammunition for every privately owned firearm in the United States.  Not very much when you put it into that perspective.

About
NYFirearms

NYFirearms.com was founded in 2008 by Mike Centola and Jeff Wiedrick as a response to a lack of discussion forums for New York State firearms owners. Originally the intent was solely for a discussion forum, but it quickly developed into an extremely informative blog-based site, incorporating firearms news, reviews, and events.
