I hope he's more than banned for life, I hope he is doing time for this one.
Makes us all look bad.
Wow, everything I have read including a very large scale test involving literally tons of all types of ammunition posted on here states that NO confirmed cases of any fireman or other person has ever been injured seriously by exploding small arms ammo. SAAMIThat's strange because i know a few fire fighters that have been injured from exploding bullets.
Keep in mind that a 50 cal burning is like a pipe bomb.
Myth busters did a show on bullets in a fire, if I remember right the casing was more dangerous than the bullet itself.
Still a bad deal for the range up in flames
There are no hazmat fees for loaded ammo, only primers and powder.Kind of goes to show what a rip off the haz mat fees are.
I'm not questioning the veracity of your statement, but curious. What were the extent of the injuries to the firefighters you know about? Were they wearing appropriate turnout gear?That's strange because i know a few fire fighters that have been injured from exploding bullets.

The quarantine probably was due to the possibility of chambered rounds cooking off.One block quarentine due to exploding bullets... I recall a video by SAMMI that a firefighter stood next to 1000's of exploding rounds with naught a scratch.
