Why don't military use those ammunitions seized from terrorists?

First of all - it won't fit in our weapons. \n\nNext is the fact that their ammunition does not meet our safety standards.\n\nNor does their ammunition meet our reliability standards.\n\nAnd we do not know if that ammunition has been properly maintained or stored.

i would think its neither, if you have never heard this excuse: the american army needs to use there armament so people dont start saying that its just lying around useless. and they want to destroy some of it so they can explain why they got new better and more expencive ones.

1. They can be taken away and used by he wrong people.\n2. There are so many people in a small area an innocent person could be shot.\n3. A stray bullet could go through the windshield or plane and cause problems. Well, that might not be possible but certainly if the control panel of the plane was hit with a bullet or two the plane would crash anyway.

Most guns sold by gun manufacturers are to the militias of the world.  A well made gun can last a lifetime, but solders are really tough on them, and the world's militarys are always upgrading to newer better weapons, so that they aren't behind in the arms race with their potential enemies.  Hold ups?  Give me a break.  Criminals don't buy their guns at walmart or a gun store.  They get them from the black market, and are almost always stolen.  When was the last time a hold up or robbery involved a hunting rifle?  Give me a break.  Thugs use cheap guns made by foreign gun manufactures.   Punk wannabe thugs don't use AR-15s, M14s, M1s, Super Blackhawks, etc.  These guns cost big bucks, especially on the black market because they are so well made, and made in the USA, so tracking of them is very tight.  No, they use cheap imports that cost less than $200 brand new.  Now these crap guns should be banned.

Not necessarily. The U.S. or any other countries don't use theirs. If they are "used," per se, it is as a deterrent for other countries using nuclear weapons.

AK47 all the way.\n\nHundreds of thousands of hardened nutters in crackpot regimes, terrorist organisations and Russia can't be wrong.\n\nBesides, they will work in any conditions no problem.  The M4 is less reliable.

Because the military used the wrong kind of ordinance.\n\nInstead of smartbombs and ground troups they should have carpet-bombed with quarter-pounder burgers, iPods, Levi Jeans, glamour magazines and pop CDs.

They are very likely to be possed and under development by governments all over the world as well.  All you have to do is read about the history of military weapons and governmental research. The Japanese were trying to develop biological agents in WWII. \n\nIts not such an uncommon thing for any government to be interested in developing them, the question is are they likely to use them??  \n\nSo I suppose really... maybe terrorists are more likely after all to employ thier use since they wouldnt seem to give a flip about the political backlash that would result.

Never.  The governments make too much money off it.  All the people at the top of the governments (esp US) have shares and holdings in ammunition manufacture companies and gun companies.

it wont do any good, but they cant be allowed to possess a weapon based on what they have said in the past -- note, they are already funding fighters in Iraq against us, so they ARE in fact trying to pick a fight with us.

Because frightened people obey orders easier. \nI guess the government should do something better than making its own people paranoid all the time. \n\nAll along, it's been the same case. It was Russia, Cuba, China, Iraq and now it's Iran!\n\nAll for the sake of money, US economy thrives on ammunition industry and if people are made to believe that some country would attack USA, it would be easier to create wars and let the ammunition industry prosper. \n\nTell people that Iraq has WMDs, drop bombs on women and children, steal the oil, get the commission from ammunition lobby, money, money, money! They love it!\n\nYou got thiefs pretending to be gentlemen! \nNow people can see thru their lies!!! \nFight against them!\nGood luck!

they wont hesititate to kill us if they had the chance, we should extend the same courtesy. iraq really wasnt much of a threat, but these guys are nutballs and letting them have nuclear weapons is just crazy. if they get them i bet they use them sooner or later, or give them to someone who will

The question is yes the US army is readily but unfornally, US ciztiens are not prepared for the end of the world by nuclear bombs, if any country including the US launched nuclear weapons, all other counties would then fire there weapons in case of attack plus everyone loses.

there not,we have had a whole new system in operation for awhile now.and every day we are getting newer high tech weapons to use.for a true,more explained detail try to send that question (WHICH IS A GOOD QUESTION) to the TV show MAIL CALL. i don't know if you have seen the show,but they answer questions such as yours in detail.its a military show about the equipment used in wars. I'm sorry i don't have the email to them but you probably can get it by looking up the shows name MAIL CALL on the web.

Since security in AirPorts are wild right now, i think you should ask then airline your traveling with, a long time ago i know we could but it goes in cargo section of the plane, Ammunition are another story, since they have the ability to harm the plane in mid air, when i use to travel to the usa i usually bought Ammo and just hide it in my stuff, but now since Xray's are use it will be likely to be found.

At least they are not strapping explosives to themselves and walking into a crowded mosque. Where is the honor in that???\nOr hiding around the corner and detonating a dead goat stuffed with explosives as convoys drive by.

Because it's an extremely destructive weapon with no appreciable use beyond exterminating hundreds of thousands of lives instantaneously. It'd be a horrific war crime to nuke a civilian population.
