Smith & Wesson CEO Warns: Why Ammo Shortages Will Continue


“It’s widely known the ammunition shortages continue.” – Smith & Wesson CEO Mark Smith.

As gun sales soar across America due to increased crime and fear of Biden’s gun policies, ammunition is still difficult to find. Gun sales rose last year after the death of George Floyd that triggered riots and random attacks on innocent civilians. Rising crime in urban cities like New York City also contributed to the rise in gun purchases for protection.

More @ One Hundred% Fed Up

  1. Nope, The reason is that they are producing a 9mm round for 6 cents per round and retailing them for 60 cents per round. For a rifle round it is almost $1 a round mark up. They are getting rich.

    BTW: if you gt any new Remington rifle ammo check it closely. They over annealed the necks to where a 40% neck crack rate is occurring and it has slipped though QA.

  2. It's called supply and demand. The demand has skyrocketed while the available supply has increased only marginally. That will ALWAYS lead to an increase in price and a shortage of available product. And as long as the commies in charge are leading the band down the road to hell for America I see no reason the demand will diminish. And I suspect that the commies will eventually target the ammo manufacturing industry in an effort to choke of what supplies are being produced. Prices skyrocketed over the past year or so....but have dropped noticeabley in the past three months. Now instead of being insanely overpriced ammo is just Very Expensive. I recommend anyone who hasn't secured an ample supply to keep them going through the coming festivites do so NOW while they can, regardless of the price. Waiting for prices to return to pre panic levels is stupid as the odds of that happening are somewhere between slim and none as long as the left is in power.

  3. I have about 100 rds of Turkish 7.62 x 39. It is new ammo. But my idiot nephew dumped them out of the box. So the rounds are loose.

    Only for the readers here, I would send the ammo (they pay shipping + $5) to who ever wants it. I reckon Brock can make the connection 'tween me and buyer.

      That is more than gracious, Sir and if no one else wants them, they'll work just fine in my Belgian AK circa 2008. :)

  5. I just looked. I found only one bag. So, that's 37 rounds. And it is a mixed bag. They're all 7.62 x 39 FMJ but some are Winchester, some are S&B, some are ISA. The Win is brass, the others appear steel casings.

    And, again in reference to my idiot, drug addled, nephew. He got the 'smart idea' of trying to make a 'belt' of ammo. His grand idea involved using wood glue to attach the rounds to a strip of cloth so he could belt feed his bolt action. @*^#! idiot. But only a few rounds have dried wood glue on the casings.

    The offer stands but maybe you can make something of them. The wood glue is fully cured and tough to scrap without damaging the casing. Maybe ultra sonic or chemical means can strip the wood glue. Again, it is only a few rounds with glue on the casings.

    Sorry to get anyone's hopes up.

    1. Brother, you have no idea. Imagine this times about a billion. I did say it and I was being kind. Many have been in fervent prayer for him for a loooong time.

      Forget the +$5. Just pay shipping.
