During the procedure, 156 parts and pieces of weapons of war were seized, including assault rifles and rifles of different calibers; 6,221 rounds of ammunition of different calibers; a riot helmet; a laptop and two ballistic protection vests.
The Ministry of Interior also informed on August 2 that it dismantled an arms trafficking network that introduced military material into Venezuela from the United States, in an operation in which boats, vehicles and at least one airplane were seized.
According to the authorities, this network was organized by the so-called Comanditos del Terror of the opposition organization Vente Venezuela, with the support of a shipping company from the United States, with the aim of creating chaos among the population.
What do random dudes plan to do with 6000 rounds of ammunition?
Most of the time they just shoot targets with it and entertain fantasies about how they are gonna survive societal collapse using them, somehow.
I can easily go through a few hundred rounds at the range?
What are you firing? Unless it’s 9mm or .22 then that’s several hundred dollars. That’s some pretty expensive range time.
People don’t train that much in poor countries unless they’re in a gang or powerful militia
But not 6000, right?
I can easily go through a few hundred grams of pasta every week, but I don’t keep 6kg at home.
