Even though the the year has passed, the 2020 Ammunition Shortage isn't over yet. Day after day we wait hopeful that we can go back to the good ol' days of paying less than a quarter a round for 9mm, or finding reasonably priced .223 on the shelf. For a while, even bulk orders turned stomachs as the dollar amount and the round count held nearly a 1:1 ratio. A dollar a round? Who can afford to practice with that? With the unrest in the streets, who can afford not to? So when it comes to bulk orders, some people think Costco, and others think Big Daddy Unlimited.

Gun Tubers have made it known that the service Big Daddy Unlimited brings is worth the cost of entry. That is, if you're into buying firearms, and 2020 has been one of the biggest years for gun purchases. While the Ammunition Shortage is not as simple as merely supply and demand, it's clear that the purchasing power of a normal ammo budget doesn't buy as much as it used to.

Evaluating Big Daddy Unlimited's selection is equal parts objective and subjective. The subjective part is mostly taken care of as gun owners typically know what they are looking for, and are instead searching for where to find it. The objective criteria for judging the value of a Big Daddy Unlimited Membership, however, is purely cost.

What's in Store at Big Daddy Unlimited

A Big Daddy Unlimited membership is straight forward. Members pay for access to exclusive pricing on pistol, rifle, and shotgun parts, ammunition, accessories, magazines, optics, gear, emergency meals, and nutritional supplements. The list is comprehensive, which should settle some concerns. The most prominent EDC pistols, competition handguns, and performance parts like Zev Tech, Glock, Smith & Wesson, and CZ are common inventory, with an extensive list of specific models. Variety and Specificity in one platform.

Pistol parts include not only triggers, but slides, frames, sights and more. Rifle parts cover the entire AR-15 platform, and respect their members with high demand components. Someone interested in a Guissele rail will more than pay for their membership in what they save. Full AK's, AR's, and caliber variants cover the contemporary bases very well, and the savings are not exclusive to obscure military surplus items covered in cosmoline. To represent the diversity, members have access to a Tippmann 9mm Gatling Gun, a Daniel Defense MK18, and a CZ P10C, all within a few clicks.

Pricing It Out

Big Daddy Unlimited remains rather transparent with their pricing format, and it has been a proven one for customers in the past. But is the Juice worth the Squeeze with this one? Or, more pointedly, is Big Daddy Unlimited selling ammunition at Pre-Pandemic prices? There are multiple ways we can tell you that without blowing past their rules, and one of them is to say, check it out for yourself. Occasionally their pages will get caught up by those bots searching the internet for ammunition prices like GunBot or AmmoSeek, which is how I initially discovered how good their pricing was. Even as we wait for ammunition prices to stabilize and continue coughing at jokes with “new normal” in the punchline, Big Daddy Unlimited's savings stay the same.

The cost of entry, right now, is 99 cents for the first month. The normal month-to-month cost is $9.95. Less than Netflix, Spotify, and most subscription services, and if you're thinking of buying a gun this year, it'll likely pay for itself. If you're looking for ammunition, and have a bone to pick with price gougers, Big Daddy Unlimited is a refuge against inflated prices, at least on the retailer's side. If you no longer need the savings cancel at any time.

Answering the Ammo Shortage

The ammunition shortage has driven prices up, in some cases naturally, and others artificially. Staying in perfect tune with future ammunition price fluctuations requires a time commitment that isn't reasonable for most of us, and Big Daddy Unlimited as built itself on solving that problem by consistently selling to their members at reduced prices instead of expecting them to hop from deal to deal throughout the week.

For those who intend to budget out their ammunition for the year, Big Daddy Unlimited presents a platform to make it a little easier. The ammunition shortage has created two problems: ammo is harder to find, and when found, typically comes at a higher price. Big Daddy Unlimited, however, is a solution to at least one of those challenges.
