Wow that is crazy. Guess I'd better go raise the price on that 7.62x39. LOL.

In Russia, artillery shoots you.

That's a hint there boys.

And the rockets red glare....

[Ah Pook]

Fantastic example of a HORRIBLE thread title. Big Boom? Really? Could you be any more vague? This is why people don't bother clicking threads to read what's inside and why reposts happen. It's not even hard when you're linking to a news article... just copy/paste their damn headline. Less work and leave the difficult work to the pros. It takes more key strokes to hammer out 'Big Boom'. Eesh.

I rate my rant a 3/10 because I could have used more passion and swear words.

It shouldn't affect small arms ammo prices...


Nearly 6,000 of these rounds were 122-millimeter artillery shells, and the rest were 23- and 30mm anti-aircraft shells, the Emergencies Ministry reported. A self-detonated artillery shell may travel as far as 1.5 kilometers before exploding, the ministry warned, urging civilians to avoid the area. The facility also had a number of 80mm rocket launcher rounds, which are stored in a separate secure depot.

Amazingly, even our own don't read past the sensationalized headline...

That's what they get for stealing a Super Bowl ring...

Sometimes sarcasm doesn't come through the internet forums. (I guess I forgot to put the little smiley faces or something) Actually I am aware that most Russian small munitions (i.e. Wolf, Tula) all comes from a different region. This was more of an attempt to post an interesting headline. Its good to know we have so many here looking to police the forum and keep people like me in check. I'll keep all the advice in mind for the next time.
