Re: How practical is the ammo limit of 100/200
Don't worry guys as like we civilian folks shooting practice is an issue with our defence guys as well.
Today I was in train to Kolkata and two Para military ( I don't want to name the para military unit) chaps were with me. They are traveling from Mumbai and going to Dibrugarh. As we were chatting in general they said that from their unit some of the guys were gone for a foundation course for some special operations Groups. In that course approx 200 joined. It was in Coimbatore and in that training include the scores of shooting as well.
More than 80 person is failed to score the pass grade in shooting. They said that if they can get more ammo and time to practice the. Their colleagues will definitely score better..
So.. in short Ammo quota is not only a civilian specific problem..

Well this is truly a new phenomenon as I myself being a army brat remember how weekly target practice were conducted in the past and we used to look forward to it. Hopefully things will be back to normal someday.Shivaji.Dasgupta wrote: ↑Tue Jun 15, 2021 1:51 pmDon't worry guys as like we civilian folks shooting practice is an issue with our defence guys as well.

Re: How practical is the ammo limit of 100/200
Not adequate at all in fact there should be no limits on a consumable . However the bigger factor in India is price . I have quota of 15000 but can I afford to go buy ammo at the prices it is sold in India for the four different calibers I have .. answer is no. Our laws and our market are very restrictive.
I dont dial 911... I dial .357
