LAFF
Live Ammo Fear FactorThe stress reading is warming up. LAFF publishes only when all three of its signals — price dispersion, in-stock availability, and index volatility — clear their thresholds; until then it shows nothing rather than a partial number.
About these numbers: DUMP shows the median price per round for each caliber in a fixed basket (9mm, 5.56/.223, .45 ACP, .22 LR, .308/7.62) across tracked online retailers, from the latest daily print; each day’s first print is frozen and only publishes when every basket caliber clears its coverage floor. LAFF is a composite 0–100 reading of market stress built from cross-retailer price dispersion, tracked in-stock availability, and index volatility. Both report observed conditions only — no recommendations, no verdicts, no forecasts. See the Ammo Price Index for per-caliber charts and the methodology.
