Interesting Video in relation to the risk of stored ammunition, relevant to our insurance discussion.

Well that was an eye opener. Should be compulsory viewing for all police and fire departments, newspaper editors and film producers.

An excellent video - and puts the mind to rest a little...

Small arms ammunition will not explode en masse even when contained.

No doubt an 'expert' will try and debunk these findings ( :roll: ), but it was a very interesting and informative video. :good:
