?????! What...were they gold plated?
They are not cheap (but not 15/round!) You can buy brass and reload relatively cheaply, about 10 for the brass, but you get 5+ loadings from that brass. Figure about 4-5 bucks apiece. But if I can afford a 165,000 gun, the ammo isn't going to concern me :lol:

Lol 15 dollars! Every miss would be a direct hit to the pocketbook.

I've seen .50s for about $10 a piece. and .50 AE for the Desert Eagle is about $50 for 20-30 rounds.

As for the mag holding more than 5 shots I'm sure there are permanent ways to reduce the capacity :)

That's a real shame..... what a silly law we're forced to abide. IMO, it's standard mag capacity of 50 body-armour piercing rounds seems a lil' on the short side.

Both the Spas 12 and the Spas 15 are semi-auto/pump action shotguns. The Spas12 was first produced some time in the late seventies to early eighties. The spas15 is fairly new I believe it was produced some time in the late 90s to early 2ks.

Wait.. Talking about p90s, isn't the ammunition considered armor piercing? Doesn't that make it illegal? Or is the civvie version chambered for a different round?

Armour piercing ammo isn't illegal in a ifle caliber, only pistol calibers "specifically designed to defeat body armour" are prohib.

Don't give em any ideas...there is tons of steel core .303, 30/06 and 7.62X39 floating around....it'd be a shame to not be able to buy it anymore.
