True, but still not as expensive as a good gun. :)

Yes, but I use the cycled rounds to test their effect on different
target objects, so i'm getting something out of them, at least. I 
do agree that those rounds are expensive, but I feel that it's 
disrespectful to shoot someone with cheap ammo.  Take care.
