Which brings up a related issue ... where the heck does the US store all that ammo?
Presumably several places. But where?
Likewise, anyone know for other countries?
I imagine this is not exactly secret info, just not widely publicised or disseminated,

Onsite in carts called "buggies", bunkers and rail cars. Plus there is SAAMI safe, Military rejected ammo and contract overrun and surplus ammo all for civilian sale. The contractor was a branch of ATK who owns 75-80% of the civilian ammo makers. LC is one of twelve top plants in the world, the only other one in the Americas is in Brazil. BTW, Lake City is "GOCO", Govt Owned, Contractor Operated. What small arms ammunition it doesn't make or assemble(Winchester SLAP), it packs according to U.S. specs (Bofors 5.56N AP Tungsten core).It is the source of .30-06 Ap, the backbone of U.S. military armor rating programs.
