Also..... someone (cough cough S3) ordered M193 ball for an M4 range in 2005. I had to explain to some SFCs why not a single person was going to get expert and overall scores were going to drop for the company if we just "Shoot it anyway".

This doesn't surprise me at all. I was reading about an engineering company in Afghanistan getting 10 M67 90mm Recoilless Rifles and a couple of hundred rounds of ammunition for destroying bunkers. They were removed from service with the 82nd in the early 90's; Yet there they are again.
Kind of like the DOD digging up a batch of "A Rack" Grade M16A1's to make the original batch of SPR MK-12 mod 0 Designated Marksman's Rifles (complete with Full Auto trigger group).
