I think ammo would be ok. I wonder if a polymer framed pistol would deform from heat.
As will a can of lemon Pledge. Don't ask me how I know... But at least that smells good!

However, a polymer pistol will NOT deform. There are plenty of plastic pieces inside a car that aren't as good quality as the polymer in a handgun and they seem to hold up pretty good. In fact, much of the polymer used in guns is subjected to Mil-Spec testing and specifications, and heat resistance and the ability to handle a hot pistol with a bare hand is part of that.
