Re: Anyone collect military surplus stuff?
Here's a fair portion of my ammo stash.
I hope you will appreciate some of the storage containers. :headbange

Anyone else think of Herman from the Simpsons when they read this thread?

Re: Anyone collect military surplus stuff?

Three reasons: 1. Because I can. 2. Because I can. 3. For when the Zombie Apocalypse happens.

If you house ever catches on fire you need to warn all your neighbors to run and stop the fire truck a block back.

Re: Anyone collect military surplus stuff?
It's not as dangerous as you'd think. When ammo gets hot enough to explode, they act like miniature bombs rather than bullets. It doesn't really project the bullet, like it would if fired from a gun. When loaded in a gun, the energy created from detonating the cartridge has only one way out (at your target). When it's not loaded in a gun, there is nothing limiting the escape of the energy, so it dissipates much more quickly, and with less concentration. Often times, the brass shrapnel from the shell thrown during the explosion is more dangerous than the bullet. (The bullet has more mass, so the shell will be propelled away from the bullet).

Thats not Hestons gun vault. Those pictures were debunked a long time ago.
