Can anyone answer the following questions, I'm fairly new to guns,:
-What happens if you hold a bullet and light a lighter under it? How much realistic danger is it to do this?
-What happens if a box of ammo is thrown on a campfire? How much danger can this pose? Will it be dangerous for those sitting around the camp fire?
-What would happen if you held a 30-30 cartridge in your hand and struck the primer with something? Would you get hurt? (assuming of course, that you were able to set it off)
-I noticed some kid shot himself in another post by sticking a bullet in a vice and striking the primer. I thought the shell would burst first rather than firing the bullet. How come it ejected the bullet instead of bursting the casing if the bullet is the heaviest link in the chain?
-Does anyone have any un-chambered bullets going off stories?
-What is the likelyhood of a bullet getting fired from carrying it in your pocket full of change and keys for a day or two?
-Can a bullet realistically go off from being thrown or dropped on the floor and again what kind of damage can this cause?
-Can bullets be handled with "roughness" or should they be handled with extreme care? I've been somewhat carefull with them but wonder if I should be more gentle and careful in handling them.
-Can a box of ammo go off sitting in a scorching hot desert sun?
Now that I am the only gun nut in my social circle, people are asking me all kinds of strange questions that I have replied to with a dumb, drop-jawed look.
