86,000/320,000,000=0.00026875 rifle per American.

Fuck.

Fuck.
It's a good start. These are weapons loaned to the Fillipinos, judged to be in rough shape. But they dock the price for condition.

Except that the quality of the wood is one thing, you aren't paying for the wood, you are paying for the technology... and those guns are worth paying for.

Engineers Aid Archaeologists in Study of Clovis Points
KENT, OHIO—The International Business Times reports that researchers from Kent State University, Southern Methodist University, the University of Tulsa, Rogers State University, and Texas A&M University employed computer models and made test specimens in order to evaluate Clovis weapons technologies. They tested re-created points with and without “fluting,” a flint knapping technique thought to have been developed by Clovis hunters, where a thin groove is chipped from the base and both sides of a stone point. The process can make a point more brittle, and as many as 20 percent of the points may break, but the researchers found that fluting can also make the point better able to absorb the shock of hitting a hard object, such as the rib of a large game animal. The team members argue that fluting points was worth the time and effort because Clovis hunters would have been able to retrieve and reuse their engineered points while exploring new territory. To read more about Clovis points, go to “Destination: The Americas.”
I think I may have a few of these in my basement somewhere.

Never doubt low tech solutions, they save a lot of people's asses when the bullets run out.

Hunting with one of those would be problematic around here. Too much undergrowth and overhang in the woods here.
