THE POINT HERE IS HES BEEN PREPARING FOR YEARS NOW WITH THE RIGHT IDEA...PEOPLE NOW WILL KILL FOR STEEL CASE

This is worth God knows how much rn

learned a new phrase. way more less effective.

Agree 75% with this statement. 25% still goes to the good ol pistola. As a tool that has tamed the west, it has shined in close quarters combat and suprise attacks. It can be hidden from view and kept concealed giving the false impression of weakness. And ultimately using suprise as leverage if need be. Although the rifle is obviously optimal balistically... The pistol has its own inherent value.

hard to conceal a battle rifle when you're heading to walmart.

I agree with everything here man. I’m still young and I didn’t have guns in the house growing up. I am now a HUGE gun rights advocate, and will stick up on this stuff when I’ve become more financially stable. I’ve got abt 1 1/2 50 cal cans full of a mix of 556, 9 mm, 45 acp, 38 spl, 380 acp, and the good ole 22 lr. Just gotta get out of college first then big boy money=big boy guns.

3 minutes of my life that I will never back.

LOL, knocking 9mm.... when obtaining my first handgun years ago (glock 19gen3), I learned from an old timer who owned a corner pawn shop 2 things about my inquiry as to what caliber gun my first one should be. First and foremost, purchase a gun that you can handle the recoil (better shot placement), and second which was the most sage advice I had heard yet, that there was no real comparism between 9mm and .45 caliber stopping power due to the technological advances of hollow points, etc over the last 15 years or so. Once upon a time the idea that the bigger the bullet the better was common knowledge.. not anymore. I have 3 handguns, and 2 rifles all chambered in 9mm so that I was able to stockpile not only practice ammo a few years ago, but at least 2000 rounds recently of defensive ammo. Figured running one caliber was wiser than spending money I didn't have on a bunch of different calibers. My final point I would say regarding 9mm, is that if your go-to rifle along the line of defending yourself has a catastrophic malfunction, you're going to be glad you've got anything as a backup to save your life whether it's 9mm or .22, so I'd reconsider calling 9mm so lame if it's all that's defending your kiester.

If you sell that today during this coronavirus outbreak, you'd make about 4000 dollars.

Interesting how peoples way of thinking can be so different from one another. I say stock up on it all, because you never know for sure what the situation will call for.......... Belittling other peoples ideas on this topic is probably not the best way to get your point across though.......

I think it all depends on situation. I prefer handguns with defense rounds for home defense. The velocity of a 223 round or 556 is too much for close quarters like my own home. The risk of hitting something else besides my target is far too great. In terms of shit hitting the fan like a Ukraine invasion, yes rifle is ideal. Even then you have to be light on your feet and be able to be mobile. Having a ton of 223 or 556 isn’t ideal to be lugging around. And carrying it in a vehicle would not be an option because roads will be closed and fuel will be limited. This is my opinion.

Because steel is more rigid than brass the casing doesn't expand as much in a steel cased round as it does in a brass one, which can cause significant more barrel and chamber fouling due to a less tighter seal. This is why people will more often notice stuck cases if you run steel cased ammo through something like an AR-15, which was much tighter tolerances than an AK-style rifle that could eat it all day. Additionally - if you switch between the two, a brass case can expand at a greater rate and get stuck even easier. So if you run steel through an AR - you need to keep this in mind and keep it clean.

I agree with you. Any more than a couple hundred rounds of pistol ammo is a waste of money. In a survival situation I'll always have my Glock 19 on my side, but just as a backup in case my AR jams or I run out of ammo. At today's prices for what you could get 2 cases of pistol ammo for, you can buy an extra AR. I think everyone should have at least 2 ARs. In a survival situation there would be nothing worse than having your AR break and have a bunch of useless ammo laying around. Great video. Thanks for sharing.

This aged well

If all you have is a "pussy ass handgun" and you're stocking up on ammo, good for you! It's better than being unarmed

lol "Hold on Mr. Bad Guy, I need to police this brass I just shot at you with, I'm going to reload that."

my objective opinion. those plastic cases are fine for "range days' but for long term storage get the military grade steel ones with a good rubber seal

I stockpile both rifle & handgun ammo. No reason to limit yourself to one or the other....

I agree, But why click bait with the "all steel cased" part?

reloading is a great way to stock pile.i go to my local shooting range couple times a week and pick up brass and I find all kinds. also if you know somebody that reloads sometimes you can trade brass that you don't use for some you do.

A nice supply of spare extractors would be good with steel case ammo.

WORL only a MBR with do... But a more likely scenario is SHTF such as the financial collapse of Argentina. In that case the actual survivors said a concealed pistol was the most important weapon to have on them.

Why not keep good amount in mags already? Nice stock pile though!

Paul Harrell warned me about this guy

I agree with most of what you're saying but not making an effort to at least throw a small bone to to your handgun because it's not your main weapon is a tad arrogant. Don't put all of your eggs in one basket. If you drop your AR on a rock and it cracks your receiver to the point of uselessness, then you'll be sitting there with 10,000 rounds of 223 and no gun. And what if you run into someone you know if shtf? It would be nice to say "hey you can stick with me, here's a 9 and and a backpack full of ammo for you to use"... not "Oh hey dude, I wish I had a gun for you but you can stick with me anyway"

Whereas I basically agree with your thought process, stocking anything depends on your current situation & how you view yourself in defense mode if there's civil strife. Let's face it, if everything goes to hell, there will be a lot of scared & unprepared people who will primarily hunker down in their homes until their supplies run out. Now, how well they ration or utilize those supplies leads to when they leave the safety of their homes & start taking uncalculated risks. The biggest thing about staying in your home & defensively preparing in your weapon's category, is "geography". What do I mean by this? Well, do you live in a neighborhood with someone literally 50' from you or in an apt. complex, with someone on the other side of a wall from you who could chop their way through in a matter of minutes. Do you live in an area with wide open terrain where you have visibility in all directions? All these things need to be considered & planned in stages of CQB, short range, intermediate range, long range & beyond the horizon or what you literally can't see. In other words, if you live in close proximity to many people, that "pussy sidearm" you speak of, comes in very handy due to it's mobility & short range lethality. By illustration, if you live in an apt. complex, sandbags, a couple shotguns & as many handguns should help you persevere short term consequences. Your best ally would be to make as many friends as you could for a co-op to survive & establish a chain of command which puts the most competent in charge of dire circumstances. Under this particular scenario, you can't possibly have too much short or intermediate range ammo. Your necessity of long range ammo loses it's effectiveness due to buildings all around you which mitigate your sight & POA. Your scenario best plays out if you basically live alone or with family in wide open spaces where you could acquire your target from much longer distances & either forewarn them with a warning shot or start stacking up bodies all around if your mental stability really takes a hit. If things were to get really, really bad, rotting & bloated corpses sends a message to would be assailants like no other I can think of. Of course, you may have to answer for this strategy at a later date when society is restored. I'm somewhat like you, handguns aren't my favorite form of defense but I'd never sell them short as just a "backup". I don't own but a handful of them but even at that, they're basically worthless unless an adequate amount of ammo is on hand to complete them. As I said, it's primarily about geography & a higher caliber handgun will breach a door & leave someone on the other side incapacitated or in search of easier prey. Fifty to a hundred sandbags stored close by reinsures their return of fire isn't as effective reaching it's intended target which is YOU. I could go much deeper with my thoughts but summarily, this is my 2 cents & you need to qualify your thoughts just a tad deeper to those who might only own one handgun for protection. I say two ammo cans of that caliber, additional magazines, spare parts & cleaning supplies might get you through a very tough time in close quarters..

I agree with your rifle vs handgun argument. I disagree on your assessment of 9mm as “pussy ass.”

This Guy is ready for The Zombie Apocalypse.

Have to disagree. Steel case is great for my Mosin,but I won't run it in my AR. The polymer coating heats up and sticks to the chamber causing extraction and over pressure problems. There are numerous threads pertaining to this issue on various gun forums on the net. In a SHTF scenario spent brass would be more valuable because it is reloadable and spent casings could be traded to reloaders for live ammo.

Any round that can kill is not a "sissy ass round" IMHO. Keep in mind graveyards are full of people who underestimated the 9 mm round. Yes, rifle rounds hit harder, but effectiveness boils down to the quality of the cartridge, quality of the firearm it's being fired from, atmospheric conditions, and how well the person performs under pressure in a combat setting.

Handguns are little use in a SHTF scenario, except personal protection at the last second to fight till you get to a rifle or shotgun. Handguns are good to conceal in every day life or when it begins to get bad out there. Don't break the law. Don't want to be in jail when things start to go bad.

Nice stockpile man thanks for sharing. I my AR loves Tulammo and have never had a malfunction except a flyer here and there. That's why 1500 rounds of my 6.500 round stock is tulammo. Cheap and dependable in my experience.

0:57 LOVE THAT BURP BRO, VERY PROFESSIONAL

In a real world, long term SHTF situation, people will go to centralized "swap meets" where they can trade, sell, and buy supplies. You won't be carrying your long gun over your shoulder to these types of places. The police, military, or local war lord will hold you at gun point and "take" your rifle. Your rifle is mostly good for home defense and perimeter duties at your home, or for convoy security from point A to point B. If you need to go to town/go to market, a concealable pistol is a MUCH better, much more practical weapon. Stop stocking up on junk steel ammo. 1000 rounds of 5.56 M193 is better than 2000 rounds of Tula. I like to stock at least 500 rounds of good defensive 9MM hollow points and 1000 rounds of brass case FMJ.

I'll never stop shopping.... not at the current prices lol

I agree 100% with you. I have been stocking up on .223 and Im ready when (yes WHEN) the SHTF

Any type of ammo stored is good, When SHTF trade you a box on 9mm for a 20 lbs BBQ propane tank. Ammo is the best [black market] currency that won't lose value. Whose going to make change on gold when the dollar collapses? Trade you five 9mm bullets for a few rolls of toilet paper? Brass as the unspoken precious metal having intrinsic value. Screw buying gold & silver when having difficulty making ends meet.

Shows few thousand rounds of ammo. Calls it "stockpile". Never considers being somewhere where you would want to conceal carry and not flaunt an AR/AK.

Battle rifle? Not a good term to use. It's a "sporting" rifle.

i feel like those who hike, hunt , and spend and extended amount of time in the woods, swamp, bayou, deserts will have head start. they've already surveyed the land and its plant and wild life.

That’s great that people stock pile ammo. But if something really went down this whole country is in trouble.

Thanks for sharing your reasons for stockpiling. You can usually fit more in the ammo case if you dump it out of the cardboard boxes.

I just got back from a gun show Upstate New York and none of the vendors had this much shit on the table. Not even kidding.

People stock handgun ammo because of ammo shortage and ammo prices, not because they feel a war at home is coming. That ofcourse plays into it some, but its manly due to prices and shortages

tulammo is crap and unreliable. If i ever get in a gunfight, I hope it's with someone using tulammo.

Pistol ammo no matter how hot loaded, does not defeat vests... Rifles are better.

ive seen those tiny 223 ammo cans at walmart recently. it was a miracle

I never understood why people buy plastic cans. When metal ones can be found at any gunshow for a decent price or even a surplus store. Its not like im buying 50 cans and the cost difference would make me wanna switch But im buying under 10 id say go for quality.

Agree 100% a pistol is designed to get you to your rifle. If u immediately need to stop a threat , yeah pistolas at the ready. But if a situation preants itself to where i can get either , AWAY prefferbly and if not Away then get me to a rifle within a coupe 10 to 20 seconds then I'm gonna, conceal, or preferable get cover while either retreating or engaging my rifle. Easiest eay to win a fight, is to 1.not fight at all 2. engage with overwhelming violence of action or 3. make certain that you always have a weapon at the ready or an escape conceal and cover plan inside of ANY situation wether at home or in public.

If the shit hits the fan you will take one long gun, a pistol, and a backpack full of about 20% of that ammo, a first aid kit, and enough food and water for a few days.

It seems as if the only Americans who understand the rifle/hand gun ammunition ratio are veterans. I maintain a ratio of around 100 to 1. All US military bases, consulates and embassy armories inventory small arms munitions at near a 100 to 1 ratio.

good vid man completly agree with you on storing more of your primary than anything else i dont have that much rifle ammo stoerd away but my 12 gauge is my primary so i stay stocked on that from anythin for huntin squirrels n rabbits to home defense or huntin large game so basically birdshot 00 buck 3 inch mags n slugs. i do keep 7.62x54 rounds n 22 lr semi stocked though.

Andrew, I'm exactly like you. Let me bring up another point, many people say " why stockpile all that steel cased ammo, it's bad and you can't reload it". Many people aren't realistic when they prep. What are you gonna be doing picking up casings for reloading in major street conflicts? Another thing I like the hard bullets in the tula because this is a world of obstacles, structures, and barriers. If I'm shooting at someone I want to "penetrate and kill". So just thought I would throw that out there. One more thing in my chest pack I carry a tiny bottle of wd-40 just for my chamber. There is a small chance your steel cased ammo, more likely 5.56 than 7.62×39 or 7.62×51, would stick in the chamber. Anyhow thanks for the video.

I totally agree with your statements but i do recommend to stock up on any pistol rounds

"Your rifle is your main battle rifle." Thanks I thought it was my battle handgun.

I stock up on rifle ammo, I also stock up on hand gun ammo.Fmj handgun ammo is good for training, but don't forget to stock up on quality hollow point ammo, keep your mags loaded and ready to go.

i carry my american/north carolina AK made with iron sights in 7.62, and 7 shot 357 mag revolver as my primary/secondary. also have my AR with 4x12 scope and 9MM. but i fucking love 357 mag and the AK

Good point. Definitely have some but the majority should be rifle. It’s why I like predominantly rifle mags on a chest rig. Because if it gets the point of me needing a chest rig, we’ll things are pretty bad.

Nothing wrong with a strong supply of 12 gauge. Best for short and mid range varmints.

True you would use your battle rifle much more than pistol ammo. But as someone who also has more than 10k rounds on hand at home. I do realize that it would be very very impossible to bring with me if I had to bail out with no car and go deep into the woods. So you have to be realistic about what you could actually carry with in a bail out situation and how much ammo one actually needs. I more stockpile just in case some burocrat gets the idea to restrict ammo sales to the public.

I prefer to buy American made ammo. And I can hit a 12 inch plate at 100 yards with my 9mm. With enough energy to kill. Is it better in combat than a rifle? Can you carry your rifle or twelve gauge under your shirt all day? Fight to win no matter what you have in your hands.

Those cans only hold 1000 rds,not 2000

Something to consider if you owned 9 mm round ps and a mp5 your kill range is 150-300 yards Out of a pistol effective range is 50-100 yards.. The longer the barrel length the longer the distance it will hit being fatal I'm not sure on though atleas you'll have distance.. I'd take a 7.62 over a 5.56 any day of the week....

some of us old folk like the pistol caliber carbines. So having a can or two of 9 millimeter on hand seems like a pretty good idea.

I say use what you are comfortable with, in whatever situation arises but what I don't understand is steel case crappie ammo for one thing I reload and you cannot reload junk.

My only thought is mixing 5.56 and 223. Many of the 223 rifles simply won't shoot 5.56 due to pressure issues. Any and all 5.56 will shoot 223. If you're going to use both and have a 223 make certain it's one that shoots the 5.56. My CZ 223 specifically states that it's designed to shoot 5.56 as well. Lastly check point of impact; some 5.56 shoot the 223 but the point of impact can be off significantly at longer distances.

...and exactly what conflict are you expecting where you need this stockpile of ammo? Seems to be a bit of an alarmest position and I classify this as ammo hoarding making it more difficult for me to buy ammo. On a side note you should throw that steel case ammo out or sell it. Those steel cases will screw up your chamber, especially in an auto like an AR. Beside you should train how you fight, including what ammo you use. When you were in the marines I bet you were practicing with the same ammo you deployed with...I know I did.

Damn dude you the king of ammo now. You problably accumulated even more since this video.

If he's shooting Tulammo he's gonna have to work on his weapon more time than it's being used for defense. Junk ammo with non consistent gunpowder ratios and different grain projectiles in every box. You definitely want to use that crap for training and what NOT to feed through your weapons videos.

Should stock up on those tables, that thing is strong as shit

"pussy ass 9mm" Best comment on KZfaq!

223 and 762 and 308 are ducking awful home defense rounds. Unless your trying to have it go through every room in the house potentially hitting loved ones. The. It’s a great defense situation.

@ 2:55 u talked about pickin up ur boxes and hittin the road! just as long as u dont have to run or travel too far while holding those plastic ammo cans! cuz they r ABSOLUTE CRAP!! i have a couple exactly like yours and when they r full of ammo the handle bends as well as the top and it wouldnt be long until the plastic clasp breaks! i got my self some military .50 cal ammo cans! if u r carrying that much ammo bro i suggest u do the same. good vid.

Like the video. Handguns either revolvers or semi have a place in your loading. Especially when you can't carry a logging for whatever reason. Either way it is always nice to find people with differing views. Subscribed.

I agree! rifle ammo is far more effective in SHTF situation, Then handgun ammo. Because of the longer barrel, you have more energy and velocity.

I know man, People are buying up the handgun ammo so I can't find new defense ammo for 9mm or 380

i think that you should stock pile handgun ammo and rile ammo so if need be you would be able to precise and train with you side arm s well was train others when the shtf

Calling people stupid for not having steel case ammo just goes to show how little YOU know. Brass reloads way better than steel for one thing. Not to mention, showing your entire "stockpile" on the internet isn't very bright, not that I would call that a stockpile anyway. More like a starter kit.

A man ahead of his time.

I’d go a step further and consider the steel case lacquer coated as the only ammo to consider becouse ammo does age slowly but it does so when u use wolf or Tula to train the brass just gets older and older. So rotate it fire the oldest first. And I agree rifle is king. Don’t bring a 9mm to fight a rifle that’ll punch through walls and trees and cars

Any sort of abuse and those plastic cans are going to bust.

Bruh at this point I stock pile 9mm to be able to shoot at the range when a new election happens.

Without stating how much I have...but my battle rifle ammo stockpile is more than double my 2 main pistol ammo stockpile combined. Ken

I have to agree. On 9mm or pistol, maybe 3 boxes of Hornady defense or gold dot and 50 American eagle and that is all you need. The thousands of rounds should either be 223 or AK, or even 5.45 Russian if you can find it.

Good video, I watch many different videos, that way I see different views and can learn. Keep making them!

Funny how people get so affended by other people's opinions on rounds and fire arms. I have a Glock 9 and not affended one bit. That's his opinion and that's it! He does have a good point in main battle rifle first before side arm.

This guy had no idea, selling this in 2023, he could retire 10x over 😆

Tula? Really? stockpile fresh turds from ur cats litter box, it's just the same!

Yeah I have 308 12 gauge shotgun and 4.36 328 Lapua Magnum In DMR and long range formats

Need both.... stock pile for the pistol and rifle.

Ahh! Transporting! Absolutely mind blowing! I just assumed the handles were added for decoration. I guess you really do “learn something new every day.” Also, using a rifle as your main battle rifle! Way to think outside the box. I’ve always planned on using an old bowling pin, if shit jumps off. I picked it up at a garage sale because it has “main battle rifle” written on it. It’s written with a red permanent marker, so I figured it was legit.

Buy the .50 cal metal cans or .30 cal cans. those plastic ones the lid bends up when you have weight in them and they are NOT water tight. Better to stack too.

I think people stockpiled semi auto pistol ammo because it was less expensive. I have semi auto ammo but also have .357, .44, .500 magnum along with alot of rifle ammo.

“Way more less affective” hahah

It's funny how people get so offended about the 9mm pussy ammo. It's his opinion, not yours. I have 9mm Glock, not offended at all. I myself stock pile 7.62x39.

Can you run five miles? Survival is more than a gun

You cant kill a vampire with that, so you dont need it If vampire apocalypse come instead zombie apocalypse.

Most definitely the rifle, I would say have some handgun ammo, but not in the same quanity as rifle or your main long gun.... my perspective of course :)

people always wanna stock pistol ammo . im the same way i stock mostly rifle ammo an some good amount still of pistol

Big heap of steaming shit sitting in those ammo cans lol
