450,000,000 Rounds For Feds

Our federal government may be hard at work trying to make it appear that legally owned guns by law-abiding citizens are a problem in our society in their various gun-walking schemes for political manipulation, but they are certainly not about disarming themselves. Let us hope none of these rounds ever end up in any citizen just for lawfully standing up for their constitutional rights.

450,000,000

 Anoka Minnesota, March 12, 2012 -- PRNewswire via COMTEX -- ATK announced that it is being awarded an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) agreement from the Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (DHS, ICE) for .40 caliber ammunition.

This contract features a base of 12 months, includes four option years, and will have a maximum volume of 450 million rounds.

ATK was the incumbent and won the contract with its HST bullet, which has proven itself in the field. The special hollow point effectively passes through a variety of barriers and holds its jacket in the toughest conditions. HST is engineered for 100-percent weight retention, limits collateral damage, and avoids over-penetration.
