Oops! That’s oven, not over.
The activation temperature of gunpowder is around 400 - 450 degrees F. If you’re pre-heating the oven for a turkey you should be fine. Self-cleaning the oven the you’ll soon need to do some remodeling of your kitchen.
If that happens, you’re an idiot.
Gigantic cook-off...
Like those jap carriers used to do after a bomb strike that penetrated to the loading/refueling deck...
Why would anyone do that?
If they’re after the coveted Darwin Award.
Over, and out.
Why would anyone do that?>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Ask Seal Team 6.
I could tell you five ways to destroy your house but it’ll cost you 10 grand. It’d be like an accident. ;-)
Jeez what are you really doing? ;-) You actually posted this? Guns & ammo in the oven? GOOD IDEA.
What you want to do is get everything in there turn it on to BROIL open the door a little bit and then just watch. 10 -15 minutes max. Toodles.
If a burglar robs your house, the last place he/she/it would look for guns, ammo, and cash is the oven.
Maybe it’s safer to take all ammo and firearms out for a boat ride?
Sorry. I should have told you to get the kids and the loved ones out first. Hope you get this in time. ;-) Really? JEEZ!
I keep my weapons and ammo in air conditioned low humidity conditions. Don’t know much about them, don’t take them out much but I know where everyone of them are. Just in case.
Still don’t understand your post. like I said. Jeez?
Nuf Said. 👍
Sorry. You’re no Newbie. Weird post.
I didn’t click on the link. Just seemed like a question like if I pull the link on a grenade and let go, how long do I have to put my fingers in my ears. About six seconds. ;-)
I watched some video (after watching a movie with the fire setting off the ammo and the bullets “shooting” all over the place) about what really happens with ammo during a fire.
It just does a lot of popping but no velocity. It was some fire department doing training. Then another one was a demonstration. The wooden building mock-up contained the small explosions as the rounds popped off.
But yes - the kitchen would probably need some work done on it. The small explosions would probably be enough to blow the door open.
Nah! Put it the freezer. Then you’ll always have some cold cash. Night. ;-)
I would think that without the barrel to enclose the gas pressure and direct the bullet in a single direction for a few critical microseconds, the bullets would just explode without becoming ballistic projectiles. But I don’t know, I’ve never set a bunch of them on fire and waited. It’s not that I’m not stupid enough, I just never got around to it.
Jeez. This is about as dumb as setting your farts on fire.
I remember that episode… very funny. Loved that show. It’s a shame Grant Imohara died; 50 is way too young. Jesse Combs died to, in a racing accident.
But back to the question of WHY anyone would store ammo and guns in an oven…
