Armed assailants in Mexico hijack US-bound trucks carrying 7 million rounds of ammunition

Well, hell. Aguila tends to smell like piss when you shoot it, but I've never had any problems with it. Their Match handgun stuff is pretty decent, too.

Two trailers transporting ammunition to the United States were ambushed by armed criminals on a Mexican highway. Most of the ammo is small-caliber and won’t be useful for drug cartels, the manufacturer said.

The shipment of approximately seven million rounds was intercepted earlier this week on a highway in Guanajuato, a Mexican state plagued by violence stemming from the drugs trade. The drivers of the two trucks were found alive.

Around 98.5% of the rounds were .22 caliber, a low-powered ammunition that is typically used for target practice or hunting small game. Mexican cartels – known more for their heinous acts of violence than for their hobby squirrel hunting – are usually armed with powerful AK-47 and AR-15 rifles that use high-velocity rounds.

Beaners go crazy over .22

That was my partial order. They couldn't find enough trucks to haul the rest of it.
