How much ammo did they expend?

[garhkal]

So how much ammo do you think they expended taking out that small drone?

[Sakura]

lots

[morrismike]

Since they had those magical 1000 round clips I'd say 500 rounds.

I think I could kite that thing with a single shot from a M-14 (dating myself) or a scar-h (which I've never had the pleasure or shooting).

[General Jumper One]

lots, and lots

[Pharaoh Atem]

They will never run out

[KEK]

The producers had a count of all the ammo used. After Blockade they should be almost out, which is probably why the line about Brody making more was put in there.

[MattSilver 3k]

But didn't they get a whole lot more thanks to the other Destiny? I doubt three guns taking down the drone, plus a bit of shooting in Common Descent and the Hunt took the ammo count to near zero this quickly...

I don't want to hurt your feelings, but a semitruck load of ammo is what they've fired since the first episode. Brody lacks the knowledge, tools, and materials to manufacture ammo for semiauto weapons. He may (and that's a big may) be able to manufacture servicable ammo for a revolver or bolt action rifle but that is pushing it.

5.56 is prettly light unless you are shooting "soft targets" (i.e. squirrels, rabbits, or people). 7.62 nato round would kite one of those with a single shot.

It really hasn't. In fact there are only about ten episodes where any shots were fired at all. Given that they brought through expedition supplies, it's well within the realms of possibility that they haven't quite ran out yet.

[stargeek123]

I would of thought the ancients would have left weapons on Destiny. To have them when they arrived as planned.

[KEK]

I'm not so sure. Generations would have passed by time they planned to gate there, so presumably anything they left would have been thousands of years out of date. I think it makes more sense that they'd have brought that stuff with them.

What i don't get is they got all those guns and ammo in Twin Destinies. How have they managed to use it all in 3 episodes of shooting. We saw some shooting from Greer in The Hunt and some from Scott and Greer in that field in Common Descent? Yet we're almost out of ammo in Blockade?

And yet apparently people have been making ammo during this time also.

"we can have brody make more." Didn't Young say.

AL,

How does Brody accomplish this magic without the tools to machine the bullets the explosives to make the primers (precussion caps), the substances necessary to make the propellent, and the brass to make the casings?

[Shylodog]

Because Brody is the man? With his special "Brody Powers" he is able to create, at will, any and all items they need as demand arises.
