The US Department of Homeland Security and the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Office have placed an order for 450 million rounds of .40 caliber bullets. The amount of ammo exceeds the amount of people that live in the US and many wonder the motives behind the vast purchase. The contractor Alliant Tech Systems is the company supplying the ammunition to DHS and ICE and although the agencies claim these bullets are to be used for target practice many believe they have something else in mind. Hollow points are not training ammo. All ammunition is lethal. Hollow points are not made for penetration, but rather expansion to create a greater shock, and crush wound. You can’t use HP for target practice because it makes a messy hole in the target material (paper/wood) because it expands, also it’s more expensive. Finally DHS has ordered over ONE BILLION rounds. ‘
