Why are 50BMG rounds so darn expensive? Surely they can't

>>30388988
Have you ever seen one?

>>30389086
Yeah but do they really cost 5 dollars? That's way too much. I feel like I'm getting cheated.

You can buy new federal for like 2.65 a round.

You can get them for $2-3 all day long.

IPhone 6s don't cost 500+ bucks to produce either.
Don't they teach basic economics in schools now?

current economics courses go like this

>whites are evil and racist so they should pay for everybody elses everything.
>the government is all knowing and all powerful, they can legislate society into a post scarcity utopia if only we get enough brown people and womyn in there to """do the right thing"""

Because they take about 6 time as much powder as conventional rifle rounds, have fuckhuge bullets, and barely anyone uses them in the civilian market. Supply and demand.

Good job perpetuating the stereotype that most gun enthusiasts are illiterate rednecks. How fucking hard is it to get such a simple fucking word right?

Recently graduated from HS. That is not what our economics class was like at all.

Nope.

Really? I graduated a few years ago and

>the government is all knowing and all powerful, they can legislate society into a post scarcity utopia if only we get enough brown people and womyn in there to """do the right thing"""

Pretty much summed up my economics and government classes. Also
