<p>[QUOTE=&quot;superc, post: 1817583, member: 44079&quot;]I don&#039;t understand the OP&#039;s question.&nbsp; Why would we care?&nbsp; It has already been agreed that the only generically acceptable post global thermonuclear war currency will be rounds of ammunition commercially manufactured prior to the war.</p><p><br /></p><p>A 50 round box of .38 Special cartridges or 9mm Parabellum is equal to 2 gallons of gasoline.&nbsp; A 50 round box of .40 S&amp;W buys you 3 gallons of gasoline or 2 gallons of diesel.&nbsp; A 2o round box of .308 has 1.4 times the purchase power of a 20 round box of .223.&nbsp; 3.35 gallons of gasoline for a box of .45 acp.&nbsp; Worth noting that while some do prize the Browning .50 a 100 round can of the Ball M-2 cartridge only buys 5.5 gallons of gasoline, vs. 4 gallons for the .223, so really it may not be worth investing in that caliber (.50) due to the scarcity of weapons to fire it and the high maintenance requirements of the weapons that do.</p><p><br /></p><p>Lethally radioactive little round shiny pieces of metal from a bygone civilization?&nbsp; Why would anyone want to be near them?&nbsp;&nbsp; Indeed anyone carrying such dangerous items is a clear danger to the other survivors and would probably be shot for the good of the community and bulldozed under along with their back pack full of poisonous metal.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
