How safe is your stored ammo ??

[clublights]

Turns out...


pretty darn safe even for the firefighters having to save your house

Will be showing this to the wife. Having been in the fire protection business in the past she has always been pretty fearful of storing any bulk ammo in the house outside the safes. Good to know that we should be able to contain and minimize the danger without having to spend boatloads of money.

Yeah, without a barrel there is almost nothing gained in velocity. In addition to what is showed in the video the cases themselves will also move, further removing potency from the projectile or case. My personal concern is that if I hear ammo going off from outside its gonna be hot as hell inside(ammo cooks off at something like 300 degrees F). And some idiot may have left ammo in a gun's chamber, which would be deadly if it gets cooked off by a fire.

This plus the fact that if a department policy is that ammo + fire = stay outside, then nobody will go inside regardless.

I must be an Idiot seeing how any firearm i have available IS LOADED. What's the point of having an accessible gun IF it's Not Loaded. For all the hand wringers on line, NO we do Not have Any Children.

Outstanding video. Those demo's cost some big bucks but sure got the point across. I'd like to have seen a bunch of RIM FIRE ammo included in those tests especially with the CAT driving over them.
Many thanks for posting!!

You have time to get to a gun that is not on you but you don't have half a second to rack the slide?

It happens that quick. Each to his or her own, me they are loaded. I do not need to justify my actions to you or anyone else. You prefer unloaded good for you.
FWIW: i also carry hot too.
