Really interesting was that mid way through Chapter 9 we find:

Another frightening story was of a law enforcement officer being allowed
to go near a magnet with a loaded firearm. The handgun was pulled out of
its holster, and into the magnet. The force of the impact with the magnet
caused the gun to discharge. Luckily, no one was injured in this incident.
In addition to the damage to the MRI and the bullet lodged in the scan
room wall, the gun was magnetized.


I wonder what would happen if the bullet went through the coil causing it to
go open. Can anyone figure out how large the energy dump
would and damage it could have caused?
