US introduces bullet vending machines

An article from the Independent discusses a Texas company that has developed ammunition vending machines designed to be safe and secure. Customers must verify their age and identity before they can purchase ammunition.

The company believes that the machines are a safer way to sell ammunition than online retailers. However, critics have raised concerns about the availability of ammunition in grocery stores.

Clearly it's controversional, and not something we're ever likely to see in the UK, but it's yet another example of the boundaries of vending contuining to expand.
