    Bullet vending machines? Just in case you find yourself running low on bullets while out and about in the city? “Damn it. They’re out of Snickers bars so I guess I’ll just settle for some 9mm.”

          TBH shooting a rat with 5.56x45 would leave you with more cleaning up than dissectable rat.

      The world would be better off if certain people ate a bullet. But those people usually are not in the vending machine target demographic.

      Same reason as any other vending machine, impulse buys.

        Ammo should never be an impulse buy, and I say this as a strong proponent of the 2A.

          “Well hell, I should try something different in that gun that doesn’t work quite right. Wonder if this works better?”

          There. Impulse buy.

          Want or need?

          Always the question.
