I saw this video of some small arms ammo plant overseas

[AbitNutz]

This video is on YouTube. I figured it was just another video showing ammo being made. Well, it is and it isn't. They show a level of sophisticated engineering and automation that is almost unbelievable. It's almost a lights-out factory....and it's not in the USA.

For a short time I did work in a pharmaceutical plant repairing machines very like those.
I'm quite familiar with every bit you see in the vid.
There seems to be a lot of un-needed operations and movements, but from the angles and priorities given to the cam it's tough to say for certain.

It's really nothing out of the ordinary for modern type assembly plants in the U.S.
It's also about the general public see's very little of this stuff....so it might seem miraculous, but it's not.

Well, it's a big step up from my Dillon XR750 and bullet feeder.

Thats impressive. I can barely keep a Dillon rolling.

Hey! That's ammo being made somewhere! Don't ruin it for us.

That would keep me shooting for at least a month. Army Jerry would likely go through it in a week.

I had a bunch of S*B 6.5 CM. good, accurate, reliable ammo.

So many machined and hardened parts! It’s beautiful!

Yep, I was repairing the welds the robots would mess up on an assembly line almost 20 years ago. There was always a technician or two adjusting the machines as they were good at keeping me in a job.

If you need me, I’ll be over here being a poor on my single stage……

Compared to the machines in that place....we're all on single stages.
