Yep sure do, three MAGS full and a long gun and ammo for it behind the truck seat as well.
M2;
Thanks for the pictures of that. Did the insurance company cover the ammo loss? Was there any evidence that bullets presented any danger to the fire department? How did the fire department, if one was involved, handle it? Do you have any pictures of the immediate area of the ammo boxes? In other words, that cloud of incandescent gas I referred to earlier in the thread line. If there was significant burn evidence in the area, can you imagine what it would have been like had the ammo been enclosed in an RSC or (worse) a safe?
Yes, the insurance company covered everything, including the shop and 7 guns, at replacement cost, as part of the personal property insurance.
Actually I made money. They replaced a inexpensive Montgomery Ward shed with a $5,200 Morgan building.
As you can see, bullets went through the steel cans and there were bullet holes in the shed walls, and other stuff.
I found a M1 Carbine bullet in my house roof, about 35 yards away. (none of the 7 guns were loaded)
We like to say that ammo in a fire isn't a danger (no use giving the anti gun people more info) but, as you can see, ammo in a fire can be an interesting experience.
The shop was past burned to the ground, there was also cans of gun powder, primers and such as WD40, so I say what all took place, except it was "interesting".
The ammo acted in a number of different ways, no doubt from how it was confined, how it was heated, etc. The fire was hot enough to melt glass bottles.ammo in a tightly sealed can becomes a bomb because the pressure has nowhere to go
Locking up ammo seems pointless
