preparehandbook 326 Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 I would say but then the Govt trolls spying on this site would know where to look. i invite anyone who wants to try to come cut into my safe to get at my guns, the few loaded mags that are in there, and all the black power that's also stored in there "and all the black power that's also stored in there"\ How do you store "black power" in a safe? I've read that the south was a "resevoir of black power" and that "much of the black power originates in the ghetto", but those are pretty big areas.... Please answer, extra points if you can do it without sounding racist. fuck... i don't know how well black power will work in my muzzleloader I have had trouble getting black power to work at all.....

mgconnor13 206 Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 I prefer ammo cans for now. Ideally someday in my dream house I would have a couple walk in closest that are really vaults . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobRez 1,895 Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 I painstakingly glue each individual round of ammo to my walls with a glue gun, so I can have .30 cal wallpaper in one room, .45 cal wallpaper in the other, and so forth. Keeps ammo out of the way, looks nice and is a great conversation starter! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

corbin 621 Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 I use a portal to a different dimension to store my ammo. I've been having trouble with the ghosts and gouls there taking it though. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

pyzik 597 Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 (edited) In flare ammo can and what I plan on using soon in a wooden ammo box. Guns are in a safe and ammo stored no where near the guns. The safe and ammo are somewhat hidden in different areas of the house (except the guns that are loaded w/extra ammo hidden in our bedroom).

I have firefighter buddies that have told me that in case of fire your house will be allowed burn to the ground. They won't go in. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

w3rdtoyamama 43 Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 Most my ammo is in ammo cans stored on my bedroom floor. I need to buy more ammo cans to fit the rest. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
6500rpm 670 Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 Bulks in large file cabinets by cal. Makes it easy to sort and access with good quality slides. Note to self-don't open more than one drawer at a time 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kdbutler 563 Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 (edited) In regards to actual containers vs location. I stick with USGI ammo cans. Regardless where you stash them at your residence or elsewhere, they'll last a long time and keep a good seal. If you have room, add some desicant. Here's an example of 7.62x39mm in a USGI 7.62 NATO can, exactly 480 boxed rounds. You just have to get a variety and try them out. (.50 Cal, SAW ammo, etc.). SAW cans are nice and roomy for loaded mags, drums, and such. I even use 40mm cans which are even bigger. Great thing is, they all are designed to be stacked so stack away! Same set-up as MT Predator, except my dry boxes are the plastic type from MTM Case-Gard. Every time the wife buys a new pair of shoes, I toss the dessicant pack in with my ammo. The old school metal ammo cans are always sold out when I go online to my favorite places. As far as specific locations? That's kind of personal. So let's say "in a secure location".

Why? because they don't want to get their shit blown up? It sounds like what you are saying is that firefighters would refuse to go into a structure and fight a fire based on hearsay information about ammunition. I'd be very surprised if that were true. I have heard of them backing out of a structure when ammo began popping off, but never a flat out refusal to do anything because of scanty information. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

"getting their shit blown up" was not a literalism and many people do store powder with or near ammo and that does have a tendency to explode in its container in a fire.

"getting their shit blown up" was not a literalism and many people do store powder with or near ammo and that does have a tendency to explode in its container in a fire. It's extremely rare to actually have an explosion of any force. Popping, casings and small bits flying at low velocity, some flash offs of bulk powder. Smokeless powder must be very tightly contained in a very strong vessel (think 600 psi or better) to cause much of a boom. Gas cans for lawn mowers are more of a hazard, and firefighters don't "let it burn to the ground" because they spot a well trimmed lawn.

jimmy21 18 Posted May 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 my understanding is bullets wont do any real damage unless they are chambered. Instead of the 99% of the explosion propelling the bullet, you have 99% being expelled into nothing. Ive thrown bullets into a camp fire on more than one occasion and i havn't got shot yet Quote Link to post Share on other sites

unclejake 428 Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 Mine is in mil surp ammo cans and plano ammo boxes. Stored all over the place. Pretty much sounds like my system.

MT Predator 2,294 Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 Oh yeah, Chile reminded me. I do keep loaded mags of various platforms, most in SAW ammo cans because of the room they afford. Also, lots of rifle ammo of various calibers loaded on stripper clips in other cans. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
