    I measure ammo in tons. Not rounds. LOL

    Some day I'd like to measure ammo in barrels.

    I wish it was "that's 4 52-gallon barrels of .223 in that corner"

    But at least "That's an SKS barrel worth of 7.62x39."

    Which, actually I guess depending on the caliber, might be an actual barrel worth of ammunition. The Federal barrels of ammo are 12,500 rounds of .223. That's maybe about .75-1.25 barrels to shoot all that depending on the material, rate of fire and how demanding your accuracy is. 7.62x39, especially a chrome lined barrel is probably two or three barrels of bullets to shoot it all.

    Okay, yes, I'd like to measure my ammo in whole numbers of gun barrels it would take to shoot it all! :-D

    I knew I was gonna get some flak for asking this question but I’d rather get good information. Tried searching if there was any type of MD restriction and didn’t see anything but asked anyway.

    Not trying to hide anything. I want to abide by all the laws in MD, whether they are stupid/illogical or not. At the same time I’d rather not be in the radar of any type of agency especially when I’m new to the firearms world and don’t want any hassle if I have to get any background checks. Again, this is more of the paranoid side of me lol.

    No need to be paranoid. That is exactly what the dildos in Annapolis want. They want you to be afraid to exercise your rights. Piss on them. Buy as much ammo as you can store.
