Ammo storages

[EugeneNine]

Hard to get a good picture the lights are too bright.

One older ammo box has some spare parts / supplies in it, then the toolbox then one ammo for .22, one for 20 gauge and one for .22 hornet. I have like a whole 1.5 boxes of .22 hornet so I'm going to re-purpose that for 9mm. I mounted the shelving to the studs with 3" construction screws so its sturdy, I can do pull ups on it.

The lights are under counter lights, I saw some LED one time and should have picked them up. I'm going to fix up a small 12V SLA battery like in a computer UPS and make them turn on automatically if the power goes out because our other disaster supplies are in the same closet.

RUSSIAN ****

Be very careful of that Tulammo from Russia.....bought a couple of boxes of .380 last week and all it did was jam up my Sig p238. and i mean jam. won't feed, couldn't rack the side with the hammer back. Had to bang with the palm of my hand on top of the slide to feed it properly...Scary.

^ haha no wonder there is no .22lr out there, its all in your garages.

As an aside, a public forum will be the last place I publish a list of my ammo (except in the vaguest of terms) or photos of my ammo vault. What I do or do not have is none of anyone's business. Same deal with lists of firearms owned.

Some people just never learn....

Mine is stored in an old toy chest I had as a kid. I have some more in 50 cal ammo cans. Wish I had gone and gotten 2 boxes of 550 federal everytime I got paid. It was always on the walmart shelves, now

I agree. Same reason why I will never post pictures in the "M&P 15-22 Picture" thread.

Not to hijack the thread but.
So if it starts going off what does the FD do? I saw a video on a gun safe site where the guys house cought on fire and ammo in the garage started going off. FD backed away and left it burn to the ground. Guess I would be out of luck with about over20K rounds worth in the basement .22,.223,.5.56,.45acp,.9mm,8mm mauser,7.62x54,12ga!!! Any quotes from fire fighters out there.

Firehouse magazine did a test a few years ago and their results indicated that loose or boxed small arms ammunition posed no threat to fire fighters wearing normal fire fighter turnout gear. However loaded (in the chamber) weapons will cook off and fire the projectile at full velocity - which is very dangerous to anyone around.

As for the ammo in a fire topic.. It all depends, if we're there and it's all ready popping off we are backing out.. If we get there and homeowner tells us where it's at, we send a crew to the location to keep it cool.. All depends on the situation!

 

[Boz]

Is that because you can't be certain that the "popping off" isn't coming from a round loaded into a chamber? The SAAMI video above shows that whether ammo is on fire, crushed, dropped, etc., there is very little danger to firefighters as long as they are wearing their standard protective gear. Just wondering and thank you for your service.

 

[Jstclair360]

Correct, I'm not taking a chance to risk my life or any of my brothers to try and save the day. If its a bunch of loaded guns going off I don't know which direction there pointing or if its just ammunition in a safe.

 

[Buckskinner]

I agree. Same reason why I will never post pictures in the "M&P 15-22 Picture" thread.

Yeah, cause nobody here knows you have a 15/22 and ammo for it... I bet you guys also don't have other guns as well.

Sneaky you are.

 

[Boz]

For the most part, I'm not worried about the people that actively post here. But, as you know, this isn't the whole world.

It is very dirty however I have shot at least 100 rounds of it through my M&P .40 and it ran flawlessly.

Here's my shotgun stash. Maybe later I'll empty my ammo safe.

 

[brucev]

Storage? All of my rifle ammunition is in either in 20 rd. boxes in .50 caliber ammo cans or spam cans packed two to the wooden case. All my pistol ammunition is in the factory boxes packed in .50 caliber ammo cans. All my .22 LR ammo is in heavy cardboard boxes.
