Define an Arsenal
of ammunition
Local news was talking about a guy with "An Arsenal of Ammunition". He had 1000 rounds of 9mm. That is like 20 boxes of 50 rounds each. In the old days of WWB at Wal-Mart, that would have been like $100. Even at todays prices, that is like $230 worth of ammo. So, what would you consider an "Arsenal of Ammunition" ? PS: Please do NOT state in this thread, or ANWHERE else on the internet, how many round of ammo you have. Bad juju.

If you were to have purchased a Marlin XT-22 last week, Remington would have sent you 1050 rounds of 22lr as a promotion. I don't consider that an arsenal.

Violating my own post...
I bought from the CMP a "crate" of .22 LR. 10 boxes of 500 rounds each, many years ago. At the local sporting goods store, these, less than 10 years ago, would go for $7.50 each. More recently, maybe $15 each. Now, you are lucky to spend $50 for 500 rounds. And still, 5000 rounds would be worth maybe $500...

I lost my whole arsenal in a tragic boating accident. Must be still at the bottom of the Lake of the Ozarks.

An arsenal is any quantity more than 1, by Media definition.
My favorite is when they state a cache of firearms and ammunition. Total: A pistol, a shotgun, 300 rounds total. I have more than 1000 rounds under my night stand. I don't know how much I have in the garage.

IMO the media will classify anything over 20 rounds as an arsenal.
FYI I have over 10k rounds of .22lr because it was dirt cheap when I bought it. We go through several hundreds rounds of it everytime we shoot. Come and get it. |

By definition an Arsenal is a place were guns and/or amunition are stored so if you
have one pistol and some rounds sitting in a draw near your bed it's an arsenal. It's sound all dramatic so that's why the media like using the term. The proper use of the term IMO would be a largish cabinet with three or more rifles and a few pistols. And a mixture of amunition to suit numbering more than 10,000 total.

So I guess even Barny Fife with that gun and a single bullet had an arsenal.

You can't win. If your guns and ammo are properly stored, they then become a "cache". And, of course, they will always emphasize that the bad guy showed up with a loaded gun...
