Homeland’ purchasing 700m rounds of ammo

I see this critical question was evaded. We're adults and need to deal with reality.

Who is DHS [Department of Homeland Security] training and stocking ammo to fight?

One of the "cures" the military had for "spray and pray" that was done during the Vietnam War was to make the "M-16" select fire with three round burst vs. full auto. I understand "in the heat of the moment" and a three round burst may not provide enough cover fire.

There was a video submitted in one thread that showed a cop, California I think, who thought he saw a weapon and dumped 11 rounds into the citizen, who was getting out of his car, in his own driveway. No weapon was found it seems. Some of the comments by his fellow officers after the shoot were quite revealing.

Anyway. I do not know what I would do in a firefight, not ever being in one, I hope that I would have more trigger discipline. I also hope I do not have to test myself.

Interesting info didn't know that about changing to select fire.

The guy was caught on his seatbelt in the video a sickening they stood there and watched him die and then tried to stop his grieving wife.

M16A1s and A3s were full auto. Troops kept melting the barrels in the jungle so they went to select fire. Went back to full auto for some reason. Then the A4 came out with the detachable Carry handle. A4 is still used by units for SDM (squad designated marksmen). Believe marines still use it as a "battle rifle".

They eventually came out with the M4 and still use it today.
