That's because he is not trying to say "bullet", he is saying "billet". The term "billet" refers to a (typically) square piece of metal used in metalworking.

Next time, try engaging your brain before opening your mouth... idiot...

We employ about 300.We don't keep a large inventory, and we make commercial products also, but as long as we have a military, their going to need a 10yr stock pile of ammo, even if it's for target practice. Playing video games is not the same as the real thing. Thanks to obami and his liberal administration we have a bunch of guys on lay off right now, Defense budget cuts equals job cuts.

The need for this kind of factory is understandable, but could you imagine if peace broke out, how much the economy would suffer? I don't know how many people this place employs, but it's just one of thousands of factories devoted to the military. If the Army called up and said "we have enough ammo now, we don't need anymore", the facory owner would be on the phone with a General saying "You need to start some shit somewhere so we can use up our inventory!" Sad, but true. Cool factory though.
