"In early December, according to an IraqSlogger security source in the Iraqi government, the average prices for bullets in southern Baghdad and Sadr City Kalashnikov bullets were approximately 500 Dinars each, or less than fifty cents. Kalashnikovs cost between $200 and $400, depending on the country of origin. The weapon in highest demand by militias was the PKC, a Russian machine gun often mounted on the back of pick up trucks. The average PKC price was about $2200 and they were in such high demand that they were difficult to obtain. Rocket propelled grenade (RPG) launchers cost 70,000 Dinars, or about $50, and their ammunition cost 50,000 Dinars each, or about $36. RPGs were also difficult to obtain. In addition, Shias could only purchase RPGs from Shia militias and Sunnis could only purchase them from Sunni militias."

I'm surprised that AK ammo goes for so much.

Literally tons of it lying around.

US price of AK ammo in 1K round lots approx. $120.00, less if you buy 10K rounds at a time.
