A collector generally only collects guns, not ammo. You don’t need a million rounds for guns that are too valuable to actually use.
Collectors generally also like shooting not as valuable guns?
You don’t need to hoard millions of ammo to go shooting. Most people don’t.
You don’t need a million rounds for guns that aren’t too valuable to actually use either. No average person needs a million rounds for any reason.
If he didn’t have those guns, the king of England could walk right in here and start pushing you around.
D’you want that? Huh? Do ya?
And if he wants to be ready for the British army, he’s gonna need a million rounds.
No. It’s a joke from a classic Simpsons episode where Homer buys a gun
So?
It depends on whether you’re a collector or a Collector. Someone who collects them but takes them to gun shoots could easily go through tens or hundreds of thousands of rounds due to how fast some of those guns fire. Millions of rounds seems a bit high, but if he was regularly buying surplus ammo out of habit it seems like you could hit that much without meaning to.
However, if he was a captial-C Collector, then yeah, millions of rounds is nuts.
