I know the govt has a compiled list somewhere. Here's just freaking great news for the CDP! Military re-selling powerful ammo CHICAGO - Powerful and destructive armor-piercing ammunition is being sold as surplus to the public through a government program, the Chicago Tribune reported Wednesday. More than 100,000 rounds of .50-caliber shells, designed for long-range military sniper weapons, have ended up in the hands of civilian weapons dealers in the last year through the Conventional Demilitarization Program, said the newspaper, which obtained a summary of a federal report. It shows that the Pentagon is selling excess and obsolete stocks of the brass-covered shells for $1 per ton to a West Virginia company. Talon Manufacturing then dismantles most of the shells and sells them for scrap. But some are reassembled and sold to buyers that include the Brazil and Colombia military and civilian weapons dealers in the United States, the report said.
