Chinese Ammo

This isn't new news, but I've been pondering it over the last few days.

Evidently this guy contracted to supply the Afghan military with 7.62x39 ammunition. He supplied some Chinese ammunition in shoddy packaging, somebody starts questioning the quality of the ammo and next thing you know all the bruhaha is on foxnews.

First off Chinese ammunition has been supplied to the Afghans before, in flipping HUGE quantities during the Soviet invasion. Evidently when the CIA supplies Chinese ammo it's ok, but when a contractor does it it's not ok. I understand that if the contract specified Hungarian ammunition he was in breech of contract for that issue, but the ammunition is good ammo.

If you haven't read "Charlie Wilson's War" you really ought to put it on the queue.

And if you have an AK or SKS you might want to invest into some commie ammo, it lasts a dang long time and always goes "bang" when you pull the trigger. Prices are only going to go up.
