The Life Cycle of a Bullet

You resented buying it. 9mm blasting bullets run less than $300 per kiloround. In this case, you read a few online reviews and then forked over nearly 40 bucks for a box of 50. This was the good stuff. At least you would never have to shoot it.

The bullet weighs 124 grains. That’s about 8 grams. It was born in the SIG SAUER ammo plant outside Little Rock, Arkansas. The cases are nickel-plated for long life, and the bullets incorporate more raw technology than the moon landings.

Once you get home, you load your carry magazine to capacity with the shiny silver cartridges. You then lock the magazine in the butt of your pistol and slide it into the gun safe. You don’t plan to think of them ever again.
