ammo storage
Ammunition (informally ammo) is the material fired, scattered, dropped or detonated from any weapon. Ammunition is both expendable weapons (e.g., bombs, missiles, grenades, land mines) and the component parts of other weapons that create the effect on a target (e.g., bullets and warheads). Nearly all mechanical weapons require some form of ammunition to operate.
The term ammunition can be traced back to the mid-17th century. The word comes from the French la munition, for the material used for war. Ammunition and munitions are often used interchangeably, although munition now usually refers to the actual weapons system with the ammunition required to operate it. In some languages other than English ammunition is still referred to as munition, such as French ("munitions"), German ("munition"), Italian ("munizione") or Portuguese ("munição").
The purpose of ammunition is to project a force against a selected target to have an effect (usually, but not always, lethal). The most iconic example of ammunition is the firearm cartridge, which includes all components required to deliver the weapon effect in a single package.
Ammunition comes in a great range of sizes and types and is often designed to work only in specific weapons systems. However, there are internationally recognized standards for certain ammunition types (e.g., 5.56×45mm NATO) that enable their use across different weapons and by different users. There are also specific types of ammunition that are designed to have a specialized effect on a target, such as armor-piercing shells and tracer ammunition, used only in certain circumstances. Ammunition is commonly colored in a specific manner to assist in the identification and to prevent the wrong ammunition types from being used accidentally.
If ammo starts cooking off, don't expect Fire Dept. to save your place.

Got an old vertical freezer that no longer runs or you just don't use it and want to get rid of?

It occurred to me today that this would make a good ammo...

I going to be in a position where I have to rent and its not practical for me to bring my guns and ammo with me. Is there a way to mitigate moisture damage to guns and ammo in a regular storage unit? Am I taking a lot of risk putting high dollar items into a rental storage unit? Thanks folks.
Im looking for a nice large gun safe to hold rifles, ammo and accessories.
I don't own a large quantity of guns but would prefer something heavy enough to prevent theft and that has plenty of ammo storage.
Please message me if you have something decent.
My price range is $600-1200.00
Cheers!
I'm looking for an ammo cabinet to store my ammo. The safe is finally too full to keep it in there. What are people using for cabinets. I'm looking at something metal around 3 ft wide and maybe 40 in tall. Preferably on wheels. Any pictures or suggestions is greatly appreciated.
