    At 1:30 he mentions we are at the mercy of the Bundeswehr with the availability of the ammo because they use it...

    Oh, I didn’t pick up on that. Yeah hopefully things change for the better for the Bundeswehr.

    Not likely. There was a lot of hand-wringing here after Russia invaded Ukraine several years ago about increasing the German defense budget, but that's all come to nought.

    Unfortunately, Trump demanding that Germany spend more on defense seems to have made the Germans even less inclined to do so.


    So, I can't fathom how the under-manned and under-equipped Bundeswehr is going through a lot of ammo...

    Yeah unless Germany and the rest of Europe for that matter actually face rising security threats I don’t see them not piggybacking off the US any time soon.

    As for why MEN ammo is no longer imported I have no idea then, it’s a shame because their 9mm NATO and 5.56 ammo was really good quality like most things German.
