6 Pack of Ammo

[Jeb48]

Saw this novel ammo idea on TFB. Sell ammo in "Pop" cans, suck all the air out, replace with nitrogen and seal it up for long shelf life. Was announced at SHOT show.

Sort of like it. For now, think it's a neat idea for gifts for your pistol packin' family members...or just to sit on a shelf. Actually, I know I'll have to get a few just to see my wife pick one up. lol

Two would indeed be a couple.

Couldn’t agree more, everyone knows if you’re gonna can FMJ ammo you use a “Ball” jar.

I actually think this is pretty cool as a long term storage idea.

Neat idea and I’m sure some will bite but I’ll stick with good old USGI ammo cans.  A .30 can will hold 1000 rounds of 9mm if you’re the type of heathen that dumps ammo out of their boxes,  about 600 of 5.56.

I just shot some .45 with a head stamp of 42. As far as I can tell it's been kept dry for all these years. That's it.

Vacumm sealing them then even just stacking them in plastic tubs would work. 

This is an ok idea as far as keeping the ammo fresh. Still potential to bump the cans and break the seal. 

A good novelty gift, but I agree ammo cans are Still better for me too. I don't see grabbing a six pack of these and heading out the door the same as an ammo can.

Me too. Then there's this. Hey, pass me some ammo...

 

[Jeb48]

I liked the idea in the story comments of loading them into pop machines to dispense ammo. Of course the weight dropping down into the delivery bin may be a problem.

Would make interesting gifts.

I keep it in the boxes and can fit 1000 rounds in each box. 9mm and 5.56.

I figure if we start launch cans of ammo, Channel 5 will shoot the video for us. That will make the squishy people's heads explode

Way too small and round doesn't make efficient use of storage space. Put at least 500 rounds in it, make it square and stackable.  In other worlds, updated Spam cans.

A bit more like legos, but they make them.
