Primers. Primers are the critical path component of ammunition. Shell casings are commonplace and impossible to control, and can be easily manufactured. Gunpowder can be made at home, going right back to black powder if necessary. Bullets can be hand-cast using a bullet mould and a fire.laklak wrote:Yep, they purposely kicked the can down the road till after the election. They'll likely do the same thing again. Which is good, in some ways. Gives people more time to convert debased cash assets to something real. Cigarettes, alcohol, toilet paper and ammunition will be currencies of choice.
I hope there will be zombies.
But primers are precision components that are very difficult to manufacture at home. Merely making the friction sensitive charge is difficult and dangerous, much less making the cups, anvils and then assembling them.
Buy lots and lots of primers as soon as possible because all the government has to do to limit domestic ammunition production is to take control of the manufacture and distribution of primers.
