450 MILLION Hollow Point Bullets?

[Knob Creek]

Can't wait for these to become surplus.

Recently it was announced that ATK was awarded a contract to provide up to 450 MILLION hollow point bullets to the Department of Homeland Security over the next five years. Is it just me, or does that sound incredibly excessive? What in the world is the DHS going to do with 450 million rounds?

Anyone know how many agents they have? I'd be curious how many rounds that is per person.
