Ammunition Video

This video is very informative and reveals how ammunition reacts to various fire and impact senarios.
I was surprised the bulldozer did not ignite more primers.

It doesn't matter what you worry about, it's how the firefighters were trained that will dictate how the fire is attacked. What drives the rules in regards to fire hazards and how they are treated is the insurance industry and they still believe that primers, ammunition, and gunpowder will explode and kill everybody in the area. Due to their misconception (or is it just another part of the anti-gun movement?) a lot of fire departments will not fight a house fire if they know that you have any of those items inside.

Unfortunatley it IS human nature to be afraid of what we don't know. Especially when it comes to guns.
