Title: I Want My Amazon Ammo!
Post by: Ben on May 30, 2019, 11:25:29 AM
My Amazon search technique sucks.  I cannot find terrifying Amazon ammo anywhere on their site!

"I'll take things that didn't really happen for $100, Alex."

I found it interesting that the guy who needed a fainting couch used the term "cartridge". He may have just read it off the box he got for his likely hoax, however it's not common to see correct terminology and "I wet myself" in the same sentence where gun stuff is concerned. Which makes me kinda wonder if the hoaxer is a gun guy.

The guy that allegedly received the ammunition should buy a gun in that caliber and remove himself from this all too terrifying world so he wouldn’t have to be afraid any longer

Dang it. And here I am thinking I finally have a thing for that automatic monthly purchase program.

The only way I could see that happening is if it was from a 3rd party seller (which there are plenty of on Amazon), but in that case I don't think it would come in an "Amazon Prime shipping box".

Or some other retailer reused an Amazon shipping box.


I was thinking that guy may have been joking, but looking at his Twitter posts, I am not sure.

Last year, there was a new-to-me ammo seller offering a monthly ammo purchase subscription.  I wasn't interested.

A reason for Amazon Prime, for the free shipping.

(I wonder if I could get casting lead through Amazon Prime.)

I'm reminded of that pic of a woman claiming bullets hit her house and holding up live rounds as "proof."

Oh, the mendacity.

Doesn't most rifle caliber ammunition come 20 cartridges to the box?  This nitwit claimed there were 24 cartridges in what he supposedly received.
I could be mistaken as it's been many years since I bought just a box of 30.06.

I don't know of any ammo that comes 24 to a box.  20, 25, 50, are the standard non-bulk counts.

Even the picture the guy posted clearly stated there were 20 cartridges.

Social purposes ammo primo hollowpoint death bullets often comes in smaller boxes now.

Yeah, that 24 threw me too. Federal only lists "20" for quantities in that size box on their site. I don't think I've ever seen even 25 for rifle ammo, only 20.

Maybe someone should start dropping triggers into amazon boxes.
You know, so that the SJWs can be triggered over a trigger.

I ordered some RF connectors on Amazon and got a free Glonass satellite.  But now the DNC thinks I am colluding with the Russians.

Some years ago, I man supposedly got a rifle instead of his actual order through amazon:

I'm guessing these cases are vendors selling through amazon that mix up their packages.

The box also says 20 cartridges, not 24.  The Amazon box looks really worse for wear.  Also his name of "impeachthemofo" really lends credence to his complaints.
