Military Surplus St. Louis Stores Have Huge Holdings Of Hardware

By Essie Osborn


In the last century, the United States of America has participated in many wars and military operations around the world, and in each of these cases, the government has been very well prepared. The manufacture of weapons, ammunition and other equipment has been on the rise for each operation. But in a pinch, they have never used all the weapons and many of them are left in many stores like the military surplus St. Louis has.

In the warehouse in St. Louis, there are a lot of firearms in any caliber and model on which time and storage in repositories do not offer any merits. They are done to the old standards of craftsmanship and won't be used by the army and must find another different use to not waste the work of people and materials. They sell the barracks to be added to the Museum exhibits related to the wars in which the United States has been.

Many vehicles are also in excess in the war office on St. Louis and stand unused for years. They are in quite good condition and can be used for many different things, from rental moving goods in cities, use by the mayors of these towns for the needs of residents in emergencies. They can also be transported in closed missions of the United States for use by the civilian population.

Another major surplus of American arms production are grenades and mines. They have no application after all these years, and the government has to decide how to exploit them in a proper way, because time is running out and they become dangerous for workers in the warehouses. An acceptable option is to be used in military training situations or to take them on special grounds for disposal.

During world war two, the war the United States built many aircrafts. Many of the planes have not returned from enemy territory. There are, however, also quite a few who have held out for their lifespans and now serve as Museum exhibits, but to maintain them as such, also require the release of funds by the municipality of St. Louis.

Helicopters have also been an integral part of United States operations around the world, but are in a different category, according to law. In past wars, the United States has been the largest producer of all kinds of helicopters for army purposes and intelligence. Now those huge flying machines improve constantly and the old models are not used for actions, the best way to run them is to sell them for scrap.

All the remaining machine-gun bullets of all caliber cannot be used for weapons, because they have already become obsolete. With these, it is rather difficult to split the metal alloys for recycling because of the explosives in them. Thus, the best option is for them to be destroyed.

The tank stores in the United States are not large, because they are conducting military operations elsewhere, and the tanks' transport was not an easy job half a century ago. Today, these huge machines are inoperable. But on the other hand, are ideal for exhibits.
