1900 in 10 years. That doesn't seem like a lot.

This is a tip-of-the-iceberg type thing.
They'll admit that they've lost some guns, not a lot though. Then it will come up again and they'll say that yes we've lost some more guns but it's still not a lot.
And this will repeat until people no longer pay attention and stop caring. It'll drop out of the main news and but still be available to the public in some fashion and the military then can claim they've made a full disclosure about the issue.
Only if you add up all the missing weapons from all the stories or official announcements it will add up to a significant number of guns lost. Like a scary huge number. But few will care and the world will just keep spinnin'.
