Don't you know that that is dangerous? I laugh when I see people
get all panicky about loose ammo in a fire. Truth is that neither the
case nor the bullet will go anywhere significant or penetrate anythign
if they did. Of course that applies to the usual house type ammo,
military is a different thing as it tends to run to the big stuff.

In the case of those power charges, they are fairly low powered to
begin with.

Sympathetic detonation of primers sometime occurs if one goes off in a
tray full of primers. They are packaged in segmented trays because of
this. I suspect the nail drives only contain primer compound but probably
at a higher level than in normal primers. Myth Busters had a show on what
happens when guns or ammunition are stored in ovens. Neat stuff.

Damn. I wish I'd seen that. I've always wondered about storing my ammo in
the oven.

I saw it but can't recall any details of the results. I would suspect
very minor damage unless they were using big, big rounds.
