Benjamin Tyler Henry

Benjamin Tyler Henry: The Forgotten History of the Inventor of the Legendary Henry Rifle Mar 23, 2020

While he doesn’t have the same household recognition as Sam Colt or Smith & Wesson, Benjamin Tyler Henry is a towering figure in the world of ammunition and firearms – and those in the know, know. Henry invented the eponymous Henry rifle, which was the world’s first repeating revolver that actually worked. Henry was born in Claremont, New Hampshire in 1821, to one of the most prominent families in the area. His grandfather, Colonel Benjamin Tyler, had been the town’s first millwright, who founded several successful mills in the town and invented the wry-fly water wheel. One of his cousins, James Tyler, likewise continued in the innovative spirit...

coronavirus sales data study

COVID-19 Data Study: Ammunition Sales Continue to Soar in Response to Coronavirus Panic Mar 18, 2020

As the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) spreads across the United States, its impact can be seen in every community. Businesses and schools are closed, the market is volatile, and store shelves are empty as the American public scrambles to prepare for the worldwide pandemic and social distancing prescribed by the WHO and CDC. While people stockpile toilet paper, hand sanitizer, and pantry essentials, they’re also purchasing ammunition at an unprecedented rate. Here at Ammo.com, we’ve seen a significant growth in sales that directly correlates with the rise of COVID-19 and its spread across the country. As we mentioned in a press release on March...

A Guide to Safely Storing and Transporting Ammunition

Protecting Your Ammo: A Guide to Safely Storing and Transporting Ammunition Mar 16, 2020

During 2008, Americans stockpiled ammunition out of fear of the economic crisis and the election of President Obama. Years later, shooters have troves of ammo (some of which is scarce to this day), but whether these stockpiles are in good condition is another story. This guide discusses ways to improve the longevity of your ammo, as well as the safest (and legal) ways to store and transport it. Why Extend the Shelf Life of Your Ammo? Many shooters take the time to maintain their firearms, but they assume their ammunition stockpile will last forever. This is a dangerous assumption. In fact, how your ammo is...

Butch O'Hare

Butch O’Hare: The History of the WWII War Hero and First Naval Recipient of the Medal of Honor Mar 13, 2020

Edward “Butch” O’Hare was the Navy’s first flying ace, a World War II hero whose name would have been commonly known at the time, but has sadly faded out of view for most Americans. With severely limited ammunition supplies, he was able to shoot down five Japanese bombers, which is how he became the first Naval recipient of the Medal of Honor during the Second World War. But this was not his only brush with world history: His father, known around Chicago as “Easy Eddie,” was Al Capone’s high-powered attorney. Easy Eddie was so prized by Capone that he wasn’t just paid a handsome salary –...

Elmer Keith: The Forgotten History

Elmer Keith: The Forgotten History of the Firearms Author and Father of Big Bore Handgunning Mar 9, 2020

There’s really no two ways about it: They don’t make them like Elmer Keith anymore. He was known for wearing big Stetson hats, smoking big cigars, and hunting big game with handguns long before anyone else did. In Keith’s day, handgun rounds were either big and slow or fast and small. Confronted with this kind of ballistics market, Keith sought to make bigger rounds go faster. This is how Keith became the father of the magnum cartridges that we use today: the .357, the .41 and the .44. Keith was perhaps most associated with the .44 magnum, with which he could dispatch a mule deer at 600 yards. He was...

Online Resources for Survivalists and Preppers

Top 27 Online Resources for Survivalists and Preppers Mar 2, 2020

“Both optimists and pessimists contribute to society. The optimist invents the aeroplane, the pessimist the parachute.” –George Bernard Shaw The prepper community stands firmly in the American tradition of self-reliance and inventiveness. Survival prepping stresses ingenuity, connectivity to your community, and homespun, time-tested solutions that increase resilience while decreasing reliance upon consumerism. While some are prepping for the most extreme scenarios possible (nuclear winter, an EMP taking out the entire power grid, total social collapse, or extreme natural disasters), others are preparing for more modest disasters. For example, what would you do if the power went out for a month or...

Flooding Preparedness

Flooding Preparedness: A Guide to Flood Survival Feb 24, 2020

In the United States, you’re more likely to experience a flood than any other natural emergency. It’s the country’s most common natural disaster, and many people don’t realize they’re at risk until it’s too late. For those who don’t think massive floods happen where they live, it takes only six inches of flood water to knock a grown man off his feet, and two feet of floodwater to sweep away an SUV. Small floods can cause massive damage to homes, sweep a vehicle away, or even take a life. This guide will explain how a flood happens, how to prepare for...

Pete Buttigieg

Deep State Mayor Pete: Could Former Naval Intelligence Officer Pete Buttigieg Be a CIA Asset? Feb 17, 2020

Former South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg is a rising star in the Democratic Party. A mere year ago, few could have picked him out of a police lineup. Now he’s the presumptive front-runner of the centrist faction of the party and – for the moment, at least – the most likely person for “Stop Bernie” forces to coalesce around. But few know much about him, if anything. His personal biography seems to revolve around two data points. First, that he’s a gay Christian. Second, that he’s a former Navy intelligence officer. The latter of the two has not had...

Extreme Cold Preparedness

Extreme Cold Preparedness: A Winter Weather Survival Guide to Nature’s “Deceptive Killer” Feb 10, 2020

When the temperature drops and the snow flies, most people want to stay inside and keep warm, thinking little about preparing for winter weather. But when the cold becomes extreme, it can lead to detrimental consequences. Winter storms not only bring freezing temperatures, but they can also bring significant amounts of snow and power outages. Extreme winter weather also increases the risk of slips, falls and indoor fires. Because of these issues, people sometimes refer to winter storms as “deceptive killers,” as many winter weather deaths are not directly caused by the storm or cold, but indirectly related to the...
