How practical is the ammo limit of 100/200

[pgupta]

no

Come on why be rude. Timmy is right limit on ammo is less ridiculous than 10000 limit however both are ridiculous.

I am kidding. I Just said that I knew people who shot like 100,000 rounds. I don't even know why he took it as an offense.

Don't worry guys as like we civilian folks shooting practice is an issue with our defence guys as well.

Today I was in train to Kolkata and two Para military ( I don't want to name the para military unit) chaps were with me. They are traveling from Mumbai and going to Dibrugarh. As we were chatting in general they said that from their unit some of the guys were gone for a foundation course for some special operations Groups. In that course approx 200 joined. It was in Coimbatore and in that training include the scores of shooting as well.
More than 80 person is failed to score the pass grade in shooting. They said that if they can get more ammo and time to practice the. Their colleagues will definitely score better..

So.. in short Ammo quota is not only a civilian specific problem..

Well this is truly a new phenomenon as I myself being a army brat remember how weekly target practice were conducted in the past and we used to look forward to it. Hopefully things will be back to normal someday.

Not adequate at all in fact there should be no limits on a consumable . However the bigger factor in India is price . I have quota of 15000 but can I afford to go buy ammo at the prices it is sold in India for the four different calibers I have .. answer is no. Our laws and our market are very restrictive.

In India for gun enthusiasts like you & me, expecting anything which would work in our favour is a "Terrible Mistake" and It hurts for life time.

It is a country, which is known to have the strongest "prohibitions of firearms" policies in the whole world.
Yes, I'm talking "prohibition", not even "regulation",
A country to completely deny the most widely accepted truth as part of liberty - "Right to bear fire arms",
A coutry to disarm its citizens even after the independence!

You & me are smart enough to understand it...

[HasnainQureshi21]

you are not wrong my brother, I seen people with handguns who don't even how to shoot them

Most people in india struggle with handguns, most don't even how to hold them

That' where this problem comes in play

With this limit we can't even practice practice properly with a firearm that we trust with our life

Our laws make no sense

You need ammo to practice and without practice you can't use your arm to defend yourself
