You can buy a brick (500+) rounds for abouyt $20.00 right now.

Getring shot in a post societal collapse wil have a whole new meaning when there is no available medical care. An easily healed wound would probably be fatal in that situation.

I have an M&P 15-22 and I just got an M&P 22 and I got them because in that situation, they would be pretty valuable and effective.

I have other larger caliber and much more appropiate defense guns but none of them shoot 5,000 rounds of ammo for under $200.00
