And who said anything about hundreds of rounds of tank ammo - hell the US Army by April of 2001 would be lucky to have hundreds of rounds of tank ammo
Also you can buy and sell live main gun tanks rounds in the US - all you have to do is register it as a destructive device and pay the $200 transfer tax for every round of ammunition being sold to you. Littlefield was a multi-millionaire - he could easily pay that tax. Again the law states that you need a separate NFA title II tax stamp for each machine gun and cannon, and a permit for each explosive shell (explosive shell for the cannon). Now I can see why regular people would think that tax is cost prohibitive - but do the math - 200 main gun rounds at 200 bucks per round comes out to 40,000 bucks - i.e. enough rounds for the tanks he had with live barrels to fill their ammo racks - which for Littlefield would have been chump change - we arent talking about going to war for years here
And ArmySgt tank rounds are completely and totally LEGAL in the state of California - even today in 2018 let alone back in the 1990's
The State of California and the Federal government would not allow that many rounds in the possession of a private citizen.

The State and the Federal do not have to approve sale.
Millionaires don't stay millionaires spending their money.
Then there is the costs for live ammunition in calibers not produced any longer or quality and safety of them either.
