    A collector generally only collects guns, not ammo. You don’t need a million rounds for guns that are too valuable to actually use.

        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.

      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.
