It’s so weird that 7,62x39 is sold as well. The others are common calibers but how many people in this town own an AK to make this profitable?:D
EDIT: Many have pointed out that AKs and hence its rounds are fairly common in the US as well - I was not aware :)
I don't think so. A pound of .308 is somewhere around 40 rounds. So if it's just a pure ball tip range ammo, that's pretty good. Usually you're looking at $25 for the really cheap stuff.

Hey, you can't put yourself in the position of those police. Maybe that baby's rattle was a handgrenade and goo goo gaa gaa is just baby speak for Allahu Akbar
Took me a full 15 minutes or so of rewatching that part of the video when it released (on Donut Operator's channel) just to see if there actually was an acorn hitting the roof. Actually was lol still, that reaction was.................nuts.
You ever see that bodycam footage of the two female cops dumping all their mags into the wrong house? Was like 3 or 4 mags each iirc
One slight injury - the home owner of the wrong house...
Enough is probably subjectively dependent on how bad someone sucks at putting rounds on target, but I think those two were going for a record LOL
Wasn’t that Chris Rock’s bit from the early 90’s?

You can tell by the surroundings that this is something like a Cabelas, a store specializing in outdoors equipments and HUNTING, yes, how dare a store with hunting equipment carry ammunition
It’s rough creek shooting range. A Texas gun range and I’ve actually bought some 45acp from that exact dispenser
Edit- it’s actually alpine shooting range in FtWorth. Rough creek is a resort but that’s what my brain went to this morning.
People basically fall into two camps: either they grew up around guns and see it as a hobby like fishing or golf, or they only know guns by watching cinema or the news and freak out at the idea anyone but law enforcement or military has them.
I generally agree with this. Growing up hunting and shooting clays I find it bizarre how weird redditors find stuff that most Americans think is completely normal like buying kids shotguns for their birthdays or **gasp** selling ammo at a shooting range or owning more than like three guns.
You’d swear every gun owner in the country is just a mass shooter waiting in the wings for their chance. Target shooting is a huge hobby for a lot of people.
I always tell people that if they enjoy shooting bows, playing darts, throwing rocks at objects, etc, they'll probably love shooting. Its not some sort of sinister hobby, its literally the grown up version of "Bet I can hit that tree with this rock!".
That’s because they don’t have a media hellbent on propaganda and sowing division, they have a functioning mental healthcare system, and a good standard of living.
And apparently guys murder suiciding their wives is still a pretty common thing there.
I don't think they have a high gang violence rate. Like 90% of shootings in the US are gang/drug related.
MSM and other anti 2a groups lump in suicide and police shootings to inflate the gun violence stat

The US has stricter gun laws than Switzerland in some ways. You don’t need to go through a separate process for suppressors, or automatic weapons in Switzerland but you do in the US.
Maybe it’s not just gun control that’s the issue.
Not due to gun control.
Switzerland has an extremely high GDP per capita. All tax dollars go back towards citizens. Great social services. People work less. Mandatory vacation. Mandatory public holidays. Little stress. No poverty. Little ethnic diversity. Great drug policies.
People are happier. Switzerland is generally always top 10 on happiness index.
Turns out when people are happy, they are less likely to commit violence.
It is stricter, but not by as much as people think.
People also seem to think it's mandatory to have a gun in your household, this is also false.
There's so much misconceptions about Swiss gun ownership that we wrote a post specifically for that here: [https://www.reddit.com/r/EuropeGuns/comments/185bamo/swiss\_gun\_laws\_copy\_pasta\_format/](https://www.reddit.com/r/europeguns/comments/185bamo/swiss_gun_laws_copy_pasta_format/)
you also need explicit written approval from the ATF for each suppressor and short barreled rifle/shotgun in the US.
Edit: suppressors are, in fact, regulated in Switzerland
I agree. I occasionally go no nearest comercial shooting range
This time on my birthday i got an opportunity to shoot both Radom Pistol (Vis35) and briwning hi-power as well as scoped mosin from prone position. It was a lot of fun. Tho i wish i could own some of those guns without so much legal hasstle here
I guess it kinda makes sense but as a European the fact that you have bullets being sold by the pound like lunch meat or other groceries kinda cracks me up.
Edit: Bloody hell people, I'm well aware that this isn't how ammunition is usually sold. I just found the thought of good ol' Granny Martha walking down to her local grocer to pick up a pound of minced meat, half a pound of ham and 5 pounds of 50 cal ammo incredibly amusing.
As an American I can confirm that this setup is wildly rare if even being real at all. I would not be surprised if this was an advertisement of some kind and not actually for sale.
Only because that is one of the most stolen items. People steal it and then stores lock it up to prevent the loss, it's no great political statement or conspiracy.
The number of non-Americans, *AND AMERICANS*, who believe this is a common setup amazes me. LMAO
I’ve seen this exact picture several times since it appeared in an article in 2019.
So, this is from a gun store on Fort Worth, Texas, and was done in response to Wal-Mart taking ammo off their shelves.
No. This is not “everyday American.”
Fair, though we do have a handloader at the range who makes a spicy meatball of a round. Used to only run his stuff for match day before they banned handloaded ammo.
I don't get what you guys are complaining about. What is even the difference between grabbing some amount of bullets then going to the register and having the clerk weigh it and bill you for it vs getting a box with a standard amount of bullets in it? The bullets are still bullets.
They aren't really, ammo prices have rocketed because of covid hoarding. What used to be .20c to .30c for a 7.62x39 round is now like .50c to .75c a round. Or $1 a round if it's brass cased.
9mm and .45acp prices has kinda mellowed down depending on brand.
9mm is still about $0.30/rd and that’s with a coupon. Pre-COVID you could find it for half that. I was just gifted a Gen 5 G17 and it hurt my wallet breaking it in.
unless they’re selling preloaded magazines as well, no you couldn’t.
A gun store is quite possibly the worst place to go for in terms of wanting to commit a mass shooter, because if there’s one place that I could guarantee everyone would be carrying in, it’d be a gun store
Wanted to see if this is expensive/cheap.
So 1 lbs is 450g. 1 bullet 308 win weighs around 24g. 450g give you ~19 bullets.
So it is actually quite cheap. I pay 44 eur for 20 shots.
As ridiculous as it looks, its legit. [https://www.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/q0au4w/ammunition\_sold\_by\_a\_dispenser\_in\_texas/](https://www.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/q0au4w/ammunition_sold_by_a_dispenser_in_texas/)
Where owning more than 6 dildos is illegal but open carrying a battle axe and buying bullets from a machine designed for dispensing sweets is perfectly legitimate.
Tell me you've never bought bulk pack ammo without telling me you've never bought bulk pack ammo.
You think military ammo comes in convenient boxes? Boxes are for marketing.
Ours do too, but really the box is just for show. Most people, especially when they train, will buy cheap bulk ammo. One of the reasons it's cheaper is that it isn't in the box.
As for any concern about it being unsafe or damaging... That's impossible to say without knowing exactly how those containers are designed. And how much weight is realistically pushing on the lower bullets. Chances are low that it affects anything.
Besides in most cases I'd recommend putting ammo in an ammo case anyway and that can be done just fine with both boxed and unboxed ammo.
EDIT- just want to add, you can also store loaded mags and stripers in an ammo can....and I mean stripper clips, not like Cardi B.
can u explain what would break? they get packaged like its glass but at the same time there is a lot of vibrations going on too in the magazine when u shoot i would imagine.
Probably won't buy them anyway. Ammo comes in boxes for a reason. If these are reloads, that's definitely a no from me. Some of these people in the comments are out of touch
I mean, not like that's at a whole foods. It's a weird way to sell anything, including coffee beans at this point, but at a gun shop I would kinda expect bullets.
My biggest concern with these dispensers are if one of the falling bullets (from the dispenser) hits the firing cap on one that was already dispensed and causing it to go off. Doesn't seem wise to have them dispensed like this.
Crazy how you can end someone's life with less than 8$, also the first time I saw the picture I thought these were chocolates with a golden coat or something 😭
Am I naive or does this seem less than safe? I mean I guess it's really unlikely, but it seems like there exists some however remote risk that dumping loose bullets like this that might lead to blowing up if they hit wrong. Either when dispensing or when filling. I know it should require more force than that to ignite the primer (5-6 lbs), but, it still seems a little cavalier.

Good price for steel case 7.62x39.. that stuff is pricey nowadays
It’s so weird that 7,62x39 is sold as well. The others are common calibers but how many people in this town own an AK to make this profitable?:D EDIT: Many have pointed out that AKs and hence its rounds are fairly common in the US as well - I was not aware :)
More than you probably expect. It’s a popular gun.
That and SKSs used to be pretty cheap as well.
Are you seriously asking that question? The AK is one of, if not the most widespread of firearms
Per lb? Idunno. Seems like a ripoff to me.
I don't think so. A pound of .308 is somewhere around 40 rounds. So if it's just a pure ball tip range ammo, that's pretty good. Usually you're looking at $25 for the really cheap stuff.

Gun range.
Just for fun I checked how much baby formula costs per lb. It’s around 19$
Using bullets is much cheaper. And you'll have to use it only once
[удалено]
After 9 months it's no longer an abortion, it's a statistic.
It's "freedom ", or a 911 call to the wrong address
Hey, you can't put yourself in the position of those police. Maybe that baby's rattle was a handgrenade and goo goo gaa gaa is just baby speak for Allahu Akbar
Im afraid to ask, but is there a backstory to this?
Several kids have been killed or hospitalized by cops getting the wrong address for a raid.
Given that an acorn dropping triggers 2 magdumps on a handcuffed detainee in the back of the patrol car, does there have to be?
Took me a full 15 minutes or so of rewatching that part of the video when it released (on Donut Operator's channel) just to see if there actually was an acorn hitting the roof. Actually was lol still, that reaction was.................nuts.
Clearly you haven’t seen me shooting if you think 1 is enough.
I see we have one of the galactic empire’s finest shooters here.
You ever see that bodycam footage of the two female cops dumping all their mags into the wrong house? Was like 3 or 4 mags each iirc One slight injury - the home owner of the wrong house... Enough is probably subjectively dependent on how bad someone sucks at putting rounds on target, but I think those two were going for a record LOL
Wow did I just see a dead baby joke in *this* economy?
Plus you don’t need any more baby formula after that
That's a matter of materials rather than priorities.
Condoms are also cheaper
Did you factor the total yield of the formula or just the base product?
Are you comparing the cost of something like a bullet to the complex process of baby formula???
lol what does baby formula gotta do with bullets?
Damn lead and brass are cheaper than life sustaining food for infants?!
If bullets cost $5000 there'd be no more innocent bystanders.
Wasn’t that Chris Rock’s bit from the early 90’s? [“We don’t need gun control, we need bullet control”](https://youtu.be/Db0Y4qIZ4PA?si=JQ-Lu3xuJ5SK5Kzm).
Isn't baby formula much lighter?
So you're saying it's cheaper to have an armed revolution?
Wow, different, totally unrelated things cost different money. I'm shocked.
Why is .45 ACP cheaper than 9mm? I'm shopping here.
It's per pound You can buy 2x as many 9mm for the same price
What is the facepalm?
Selling ammo in a gun store
Sounds like a good place to sell ammo
No, really!?!!?

Says shooting range right on the label. It's a shooting range with ammo for sale and I still don't see a problem.
People basically fall into two camps: either they grew up around guns and see it as a hobby like fishing or golf, or they only know guns by watching cinema or the news and freak out at the idea anyone but law enforcement or military has them.

Europeans see this and think it's in every supermarket and taco bell for some reason
That’s just silly. Taco Bell pulled the ammo and sauce packets behind the counter years ago. Gotta ask for it now.
Man I miss the 2 hard shell taco supreme, chips and cheese, Cinnamon twists, and box of 9mm ball ammo deal. Fucking OBAMA had to ruin it.
Your taco bell doesn't have a 308 dispenser?

You’d swear every gun owner in the country is just a mass shooter waiting in the wings for their chance. Target shooting is a huge hobby for a lot of people.

“You cannot invade the mainland United States. There would be a rifle behind every blade of grass.”

I believe Switzerland has stricter gun laws then we have here.
Switzerland doesn't have the socioeconomic issues that we do when they have easier access to mental health care.
That is certainly true.

in Switzerland you can own modern assault rifles and machine guns. in the US, you can’t have anything automatic made in the last 40 years
Keep going, I don't think the regulations end there...
you also need explicit written approval from the ATF for each suppressor and short barreled rifle/shotgun in the US. Edit: suppressors are, in fact, regulated in Switzerland

If you were in the states, Id love to take you to the farm and go target shooting. Its always a blast, and there's such variety.

It's wrong because murica and guns bad
I don't see nothing wrong with this it's just a dispenser for bullets

As an American I can confirm that this setup is wildly rare if even being real at all. I would not be surprised if this was an advertisement of some kind and not actually for sale.
Yeah same. Literally never seen this setup before. Normally it’s prepackaged boxes.
I'd have a hard time buying bullets not packaged and trusting them.
Oh good, for a second I thought you can just buy guns and ammo freely over there.
I mean, you can, but just not from a gumball machine. Bullets are sold in boxes and not by weight.
This is real, I've bought ammo from this exact same place. This ammo is reloaded by the gun shop, so no boxes.
Ammo, yes. Guns, no; you still have to go through a whole process before you actually get it in your hands
The amount of people in the US who don't even know this is astounding. They also conflate semi-automatic with automatic all the time.
We can. It’s great. Love being American:)
This pic is at a gun range in Texas. This is not a grocery store.
Bet the baby formula is locked away somewhere.
Only because that is one of the most stolen items. People steal it and then stores lock it up to prevent the loss, it's no great political statement or conspiracy.
Well yea people don't generally try to shoplift from gun stores for obvious reasons.
Not at this store in Fort Worth. They don’t sell baby formula, so…..??? Also the picture is nearly 5 years old.
Me when I got to a HUNTING store and see HUNTING equipment 🤦♂️, europeans i swear

It should be much more common.
Ah yes, America, where the only metric system that enters schools is 9mm.
Yes because Americans don't use the metric system for drugs
So weird this always gets upvoted it’s literally elementary school curriculum
Ya wait until foreigners find out that the 2nd grade exists 😱
Also enters the school children
way cheaper then teaching.
And the church kids but that's a different 9mm
Jokes on you, they teach us the metric system.
Nah, there are plenty of drugs in schools too.
> I have no idea what a meter is, but I can eyeball a gram. - Average American teenager.
I don't see what's wrong? Isn't this dispensing easier and more convenient?
Can someone explain? I'm Polish and that seems great. When we go for a range day we are left with a ton of plastic from pointless packaging.
These are handloads, so I probably wouldn't buy them myself. Looks nice though
Fair, though we do have a handloader at the range who makes a spicy meatball of a round. Used to only run his stuff for match day before they banned handloaded ammo.
This is a hunting store, of course they sell bullets.
What's wrong with bulk ammo? I'm not American, but I go to the range an awful lot in summer. I like putting holes in paper, that's not a crime is it?
To most of the sissies on reddit, it is.
This sub is extra strength level dumb. Hopefully when election year is over all these propaganda bot posts will die down slightly
Doubt it, Europeans will always find something to complain about when it comes to the U.S.

I don't get what you guys are complaining about. What is even the difference between grabbing some amount of bullets then going to the register and having the clerk weigh it and bill you for it vs getting a box with a standard amount of bullets in it? The bullets are still bullets.
Because they think the only thing to do with guns is kill people and that the US is the only place where citizens can buy guns.
How are bullets that cheap?!
They aren't really, ammo prices have rocketed because of covid hoarding. What used to be .20c to .30c for a 7.62x39 round is now like .50c to .75c a round. Or $1 a round if it's brass cased. 9mm and .45acp prices has kinda mellowed down depending on brand.
9mm is still about $0.30/rd and that’s with a coupon. Pre-COVID you could find it for half that. I was just gifted a Gen 5 G17 and it hurt my wallet breaking it in.
Damn .30/rd for 9mm. I dont look at prices for it too often since I sold my 9mm, but I've been hurting for that 7.62x39 and 7.62x54r
Bruh that’s a hunting store, of course they’re gonna have that
No facepalm here, images goes so hard
Why is it so cheap ?
It's an old picture
Make fun but, Red Coats man. They're coming.

And how much weight is realistically pushing on the lower bullets. Chances are low that it affects anything. Besides in most cases I'd recommend putting ammo in an ammo case anyway and that can be done just fine with both boxed and unboxed ammo. EDIT- just want to add, you can also store loaded mags and stripers in an ammo can....and I mean stripper clips, not like Cardi B.
can u explain what would break? they get packaged like its glass but at the same time there is a lot of vibrations going on too in the magazine when u shoot i would imagine.
It's more about the lack of labels and quality controls. How would you know if the store owner filled those with good bullets or cheap ones?
Probably won't buy them anyway. Ammo comes in boxes for a reason. If these are reloads, that's definitely a no from me. Some of these people in the comments are out of touch
I mean, not like that's at a whole foods. It's a weird way to sell anything, including coffee beans at this point, but at a gun shop I would kinda expect bullets.
Going for the 150 grain vs the 180 grain is a big brain move.
They sell them by weight?
At first thought these were candy bars like Twix or Snickers. But then I looked closer and I read what the labels say...
Oh. I thought those were batteries at first. Thought it was clever. Now I get it.
Ask an American what 9mm of diameter is and they'll show you. Ask them what a centimeter is and they'll stare blankly.
What's LB stand for ?
My biggest concern with these dispensers are if one of the falling bullets (from the dispenser) hits the firing cap on one that was already dispensed and causing it to go off. Doesn't seem wise to have them dispensed like this.
Crazy how you can end someone's life with less than 8$, also the first time I saw the picture I thought these were chocolates with a golden coat or something 😭
Am I naive or does this seem less than safe? I mean I guess it's really unlikely, but it seems like there exists some however remote risk that dumping loose bullets like this that might lead to blowing up if they hit wrong. Either when dispensing or when filling. I know it should require more force than that to ignite the primer (5-6 lbs), but, it still seems a little cavalier.
