Duh.

Completely different ball game- ammo including artillery ammo I assume- which has explosive warheads which can explode.

Ask the OP, he's the one who added that language. It wasn't in the story.

It's the Headline of the story dumb chit.

If you had bothered to click on the link, you would know that.


LOL, I did read it Karen, the headline of the story is just what's stated in the body of your post and the word "blows" is nowhere to be found in the headline---you added the word "blows" in your thread title numbnuts.

The headline says the ammo "ignited" you fùcking dumbass. Just like everything else in a house that burns to the ground.

So what's your angle here, why have you sensationalized a house fire where some small arms ammo ignited and cooked off? You sound like some yammering old woman who knows jack shìt about firearms.

And WTF is a "cache" of ammo anyway? A brick of .22 LR? "OMG that's 500 rounds, why do you need all that?"

Which one of us here doesn't have a "cache" of ammo? That's an emotionally charged word used by pearl-clutching Karens and you took it and ran with it.

Congratulations.

He uses a military munitions plant with all it's goodies inside, in a time war, blowing up to compare to a residential "ammo cache" DUH

How did they determine they were "Automatic weapons". Did they have bump stocks and force reset triggers on them?

exactly. To a T you hit this on the head. I've fought enough structure fires with ammo and guns and its never been an issue. And never blown up.

Someone forgot to check gas or something else involved in that fire.

If you have not learned by now, "supfoo" is a leftist sock puppet troll. His stock in trade is exaggeration, hyperbole, fabrication, and obfuscation.

Didn’t Julian Hatcher write a big "notebook" on this subject.

Don't hang around this poo hole site often enough to get that part. Its one of the reasons I suppose.

Btw I think it was you that mentioned vehicle prices going down. We bought way before we had planned and even though our market area is high, it saved some cash for sure I'm certain. Thanks

And the cause of the explosion? Which may be totally different than the cause of the fire...

NO, smokeless powder will burn, not "BLOW".

Foo Boy is such a Drama Queen. No Explosion, Ammo wasn't the cause, and didn't hamper the fire Being put out. But that wouldn't be a story...

as others have opined, this is mostly a BS 'news story'. Ammo just does not blow up like that. Black powder, yeah, but not loaded cartridges

Kindly notice the lack of the word "smokeless" in my comment. That's the stuff on the the shelf in the basement directly under my bedroom. Ain't skeered.

Out of curiosity - I've never used Tannerite. What will it do in a fire?

I've only been around Tannerite once and that was on a Utah vacation. As I remember the stuff is a 2 part dry mix. Without mixing it, it won't do anything. Once mixed I remember it was still a little hard to set off. A Lee in 303 wouldn't set it off at 100 yards, we had to use my 204 to ignite it.

When it exploded, it only tore the poster in half.

Uncontained, yes. Contained, it explodes.

Many years ago, as kids we would toss .22RF cartridges into burning piles of leaves we had raked-up. Every one exploded. Actually lifting the leaf piles up. Sounded like fire crackers.

So all you internet experts, next time you have a camp fire burning, throw some .22RF cartridges into it. See what happens. Hell, throw some 5.56 or 7.62 cartridges into the fire. See what happens. And keep sitting next to the burning fire. You don't get to run away. I dare you. Hell, I double dare you. You will find out "ignite" and "cook-off" are euphemisms for "explode".

Watch the SAAMI video, popping off is far from an "explosion".

Bingo.

The problem is that most people reading that don't understand that, including gun guys. I usually show them this film and they seem to understand after that.
