Synopsis:
Added: Nov 27, 2009 6:03 pm
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) intends to award a non-competitive, sole source purchase order to Anzio Ironworks Corporation, 1905 16th Street N, St. Petersburg, FL 33704 for two (2) Magfed 20mm Rifles and accessories in accordance with FAR 6.302-1, only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. 


The FBI intends to procure the following items: 
Magfed 20mm Rifle with Belgian Camo Overcoat finish. Includes bipod, brake, handguard, free floated barrel and case (Qty: 1 each)
Magfed 20mm Rifle with Navy NWV Camo Duracoat finish. Includes bipod, brake, handguard, free floated barrel and case (Qty: 1 each)
Non-firing bolt assemblies (Qty: 2 each)
Extra magazines (Qty: 4 each)
Suppressors in 20mm (Qty: 2 each)

Wikipedia states:
Quote
At approximately 38,000 foot-pounds (51,521 J) of kinetic energy, the 20mm round, as fired out of the Anzio rifle, has over three times the power of the .50 BMG cartridge fired out of a comparable rifle, which is around 12,200 foot pounds (16,540 J) of kinetic energy.....This makes a 20mm Anzio rifle about 4.8 times as powerful as a rifle chambered in .600 Nitro Express.

Effective range   5000 yards (4572 meters), or about 3 miles!

I suspect that the  20mm Vulcan round would stop just about any vehicle on the road, including the  light armored  trucks that the DHS bought.  It could penetrate  any armor and punch  through any wall.

Oh... the  ammo cost WAS about $16 a shot.  Don't know what it is now.

I carry a gun because a cop is too heavy.  I carry a lot of ammo because I cant run very fast.

One could assume infighting.  In a SHTF brew ha ha, the fellas from one agency to another, really dislike one another.    If they keep the arms pointed at one another, maybe they will leave us alone.

Holy smokes I wish my office bought cool stuff like that...I hate seeing Jane or John Doe as the procuring contracting specialists/officers. Wonder how many of them even know how BA the stuff they're buying actually is.

Meanwhile I solicit for toilet paper, not really but might as well be.

i've always wanted a 20mm. 

In my earlier shooting days, 40+ years ago, there was an ad in a "Guns and Ammo" magazine, IIRC,  that had a picture of a ferocious woodchuck, fangs and all, in a threatening stance.  The title was
"Chuck hunters!  Don't be undergunned!!"   Below the picture of the woodchuck was a picture of the Boyes Anti-Tank Gun.   It was an ad for an Army Surplus dealer.    I got a kick out of that ad.

Support for the IRS?
They found out what I own?
Preparing for the "armed march on DC"?

or most likely...

Mine is bigger than yours! (and how did that work out for 10mm?)
