Two grocery stores in Alabama currently have an automated vending machine that dispenses ammunition.

American Rounds markets an automated ammunition dispenser which uses artificial intelligence technology to verify a buyer’s identification and age through card scanning and facial recognition software.

The buyer inserts their photo ID, and the machine conducts a 360-degree scan to match it to the ID card.

The machines can currently be found at Fresh Value locations in Tuscaloosa, at 4200 McFarland Blvd., and Pell City, 1009 Martin St. The company plans to expand to other locations in Alabama as well, according to CEO Grant Magers.

Interesting concept .. it would be nice if our voting machines had the same requirements with an id card and scan to match.

Damn ammo is expensive...how much if you buy it from a store?

I haven't priced any lately, because I make most of what I shoot. But less than those vending machine prices.

Now a "brick" of .22 LR is 325 rounds @ around 11 cents a round....**** that.

Then again I have enough .22 LR of all flavors to last three people their lifetimes.

LOL....I bought two cases of CCI Standard (12 500 rd bricks per case) for $5.00 a brick at an estate sale some years back.

This is great - the Japanese sell whisky in vending machines, we sell ammo.

This, ladies and gentlemen, is an ammunition vending machine.

It's in a grocery store.

It's made by a company called American Rounds.

They have machines in Oklahoma, Texas, Colorado, and Alabama, with more to come.

Ammunition vending machines appear in grocery stores

Machines stocked with ammunition have been installed in several grocery stores across the United States.

Capitalism in action.

You can buy the ammo if you're over 21 and your face matches your picture ID.

(HEY, that's just like voting!)

Excellent!

Between the ammo machine and the Trojan rubber machine in the bathroom, a feller could have a pretty good time in Oklahoma, Texas, Colorado, and Alabama.

Murica!

Ain't it grand?

I'd rather not be scanned but have at it.

Convenient, but probably not inexpensive - if you can wait a few days, on-line buys are almost always cheaper.

Yeah, we came to that conclusion in the thread I started on it a few days back.

Thread #3 unless I'm mistaken.

Kinder eggs, chocolate with a little plastic toy you assemble. Banned in the US, too dangerous for kids.
