Ignite different types of bullet outside of a barrel
Conclusion 1
Projectiles ignited outside a firearm have significantly lower velocities and energies than when shot from a firearm.
Drop ammo from extreme height
Conclusion 2
When dropped from extreme heights. Sporting ammunition is unlikely to ignite. if a cartridge ignites. It does not propagate.
Shot into boxes of ammo
Conclusion 3
Most of the ammunition did not ignite. When a cartridge did ignite. There was no chain reaction.
Ignite the primer of one bullet in a box of ammo
Conclusion 4
Ignition using a blasting cap is difficult. and does not propagate.
Run over and smash boxes of ammos with a tank
Conclusion 5
Even in the most extreme conditions of compression and friction. Sporting ammunition is unlikely to ignite. And does not propagate.
Burn boxes of ammo
Conclusion 6
Sporting ammunition fires are noisy. But the projectiles have low energy and are largely confined by sheetrock at short distances. Normal turnout gear will protect the fire fighter at a reasonable working distance.
Burn unpackaged ammo
Conclusion 7
The lack of packaging did not cause the ammunition to burn more fiercely. No explosion occurred.
Ammo store fire simulation
Conclusion 8
The fire was controlled within 10 seconds. Projectiles were low velocity and did not impede the fire fighters.
Ammo truck fire simulation
Conclusion 9
The fire was controlled within 10 seconds. Projectiles were low velocity, and struck but did not impede the fire fighters.
