How much did that grenade cost? fukin asshat.

Hobo:
I just tried my best to find what the US defense dept was paying for grenades but can'e seem to get a solid number.

What happened to those great spending lists that came out in the 1980's which published that we were paying like $200 for a hammer and $300 for a toilet seat for the military?

If anyone can find out I'm love to know.

The Project on Government Oversight (POGO) notes that the Department of Defense has taken steps to avoid the criticisms of the overpricing that happened during spending increases of the 1980s. Specifically, 'The Defense Department...blacks out the names of specific spare parts that [are] grossly overpriced.'

The abuses are still going on, however: 'A Defense Department January 1999 report reveals that defense money continues to be wasted on spare parts, just as it was in the 1980s... [For example,] AlliedSignal corporation was found to have overcharged the government for spare parts by as much as 618%.'

Perhaps more important today are the reasons behind the decisions that the Department makes regarding new weapons technology: 'POGO's investigations show that private financial interests rather than national security needs all too often drive the Pentagon's decisions about which weapons to buy.'

That was my first thought...how much did that cost?

Meh. Destroying it with a chaingun would have been cooler.

The reason that these things are listed so high from the government are for secret shit. Like area 51, or to build secret new shit. If you add it all up in a year im sure it becomes a very high number. there are also secret concentration shelters incase of a marshal law. these things are manned and well they have to be maintained and it cant just be written on any paper.
