can ammo go off if you drop it?

So no, a cartridge / bullet will not fire on dropping on the ground. ... For a cartridge to go off, the small cap at the base of the cartridge (the primer) needs to be struck by a hammer or firing pin - such is the firing mechanism of all conventional small-arms ammunition worldwide.

Yes. Bullets carry their own oxidising agent in the explosive of the cartridge (which is sealed, anyway) so there's no need for atmospheric oxygen to ignite the propellant. ... Once shot, the bullet will keep going forever, as the universe is expanding at a faster rate than the bullet will travel.

Tracer ammo is made to mimic the trajectory of a particular FMJ load, otherwise it would be useless. The tracer compound doesn't ignite until it is clear of the bore, so it won't hurt the rifle at all.

General Ammunition Shelf Life in Basic Conditions So long as the rounds aren't subjected to high heat or moisture, nothing is likely to happen. Most ammo manufacturers advise that their ammunition should be good for ten years. In reality, it will keep longer.

Anyway, I was told today that even though pistol and rifle shells will keep for a very long time...that those shotgun shells, although kept in a dry and air-conditioned place, would expire and become unstable in 5-10 years. And, that this could cause them to explode or something along those lines when used.

Falling shot may make a noise but it is not dangerous. Be sensible where you shoot, put your back to the road if possible and shoot into the air.

It's completely normal that you forgot the codes of your combination lock or your lock stops working. That doesn't mean you're locked out of your stack-on gun safe forever. It can be difficult to break into a gun safe but it's doable.

1 Answer. Equipment will fall off, and Auras most likely will as well. Equipment can only be attached to creatures. If it finds itself attached to a non-creature permanent, like when the Ojutai Monument turns back into a plain old non-creature artifact, that's illegal, and it'll be detached.

An anvil can be damaged and destroyed from falling. If it falls from a height greater than one block, the chance of degrading by one stage is 5% × the number of blocks fallen. The damage state does not affect the anvil's function, but only anvils of the same damage state can stack in inventory.

All guns are always loaded. Never let the muzzle cover anything you are not willing to destroy. Keep your finger off the trigger until your sights are on the target. Be sure of your target and what is beyond it.

This minigame is safe, meaning you will not lose items on death; however, any items you drop manually on the ground will be lost if you die, as you will be taken away from the arena.

Muzzle breaks can also break scopes. As most scopes are designed to withstand violent recoil actions with gradual deceleration, the sudden stopping, relatively, of a muzzle brake can damage them. As the deceleration is more violent, it can be akin to slamming the scope into a wall.

Ammunition cannot be recycled. This is because ammunition falls into the category of explosives, which is dangerous to handle and process at the Material Recovery Facility. Ammunition should be taken to your local police station for safe disposal. ... Visit the nearest police station to you for safe ammunition disposal.

Falling-bullet injuries Bullets fired into the air usually fall back with terminal velocities much lower than their muzzle velocity when they leave the barrel of a firearm. Nevertheless, people can be injured, sometimes fatally, when bullets discharged into the air fall back down to the ground.

Yeah bullets don't need to be put into a gun to fire. You can detonate them with blowtorches, I just wouldn't recommend it. No, although the gunpowder has to ignite for it to be harmful. It is actually very dangerous to fire the round outside the chamber, as you will have no guarantee of the bullet's trajectory.

Squib rounds are possible in all firearms. They are most often caused by negligence in the powder loading process (insufficient or no powder load), or a failure of the primer to ignite the powder at all. ... Subsequent rounds will pile up in a very strong weapon or destroy a weaker one.

The Ammunition Can EMP Box. ... Keeping equipment safe from an EMP is something else entirely. Left as built, they will not protect most equipment. All genuine ammo cans use a rubber gasket between the lid and body flange to create the air tight seal.
