So i should stop throwing boxes of ammo at people?
i like youIf I catch the box of ammo I get to keep it, right?
/end threadGood thing it wasn't .45 or everyone in the store would've had their souls trapped in a horcrux.
Look on youtube for some videos of ammo being shot at, dropped, crushed, tossed in fires and other destructive testing. Amazing what it will handle without going off. For the record, none of the ammo shown in any video I've seen has detonated. It may go off but there is a big difference between detonation and deflagration. Nitrocellulose powder will detonate if conditions are right but it won't if dropped. It takes a high order detonation to set it off high order. Just being ignited by the primer or fire or whatever isn't detonation. Normally in a fire or other non firearm situation the case will pop the bullet out, you get some flame and the bullets won't even penetrate the box. With a detonation the case would be shattered.

I throw damaged ammunition in the fire to get rid of it. It just pops, but doesn't do much else without the pressure of the chamber/barrel to direct the blast.
Does that count as an ND?
I'd say no, as you aren't discharging a firearm.
It shouldn't normally be possible for a drop to discharge ammo, but tolerances exist. If a primer is just a whisper too high, it'll happen easily.
