The ammo is likely half that. I can get 223 ammo for about 30-35 cents a round depending on how much I buy at a time.

Perhaps, but we are also talking about 3 different types of ammon, likely 9mm, 12 gauge, and possibly .223.

What rounds are you calculating?

Nevermind, read your post to fast. And how much ammo are you picking up at the time?

223 @ $0.27

Full Metal Jacket : Ammunition To Go

9MM @ $0.18

Full Metal Jacket : Ammunition To Go

12 Gauge @ $0.22

ALL 12 Gauge : Ammunition To Go

YMMV based on quantity and actual type. I chose FMJs, but if he were using hollow points or ballistics the cost would obviously be higher.

Okay, 6000 rounds, 2000 of each type even though thats likely not the right ratio.

540 for .223

360 for 9mm

440 for 12 gauge

So, 1340, if he used (civil) rounds, I've got my eye on you civil...

$2940 because he got free super savor shipping, not tax, all the gadget were free, and made the bombs from chemicals he took from under mom's sink.

I don't know where I'm going with this but feel like making allegations.

My best guess is he had way more 223 than the others. My guess also is that if college students can buy laptops, smart phones, and tablets they can come up with money for guns and ammo if they choose.

I am guessing he bought the cheapest shit he could find. Things like Wolf, and Big bear ammo. Dirt cheap and dirty as hell. Not that it matters much. He obviously didn't know what he was doing.

True dat.

Having the phones, laptops, and tablets makes having the guns impossible. And it's been my experience the folks going to masters and PHDs are living by eating paper, the drinking fountain, and sleeping in their office. My Econ law TA claims the key to getting your degree is learning how to fall asleep sitting up at a keyboard.

How long was this guy out of college?

He was at med school. Can we please stop speculating about things? The AR-15 was .223 ammo, the shotgun was 12 gauge, and the glocks were 40s.

He bought 3000, 300, 3000 rounds respectively from online and retailers.

But the record gets so much more colorful with speculation.
