61. I concede
But I'm not hanging around while someone throws ammo in a fire. Good luck with that. I can also envision a situation in which all the ammo ignites simultaneously. Potential BOOM.

3/4 in plywood isn't tougher than a skull? I'm calling bullshit on that one. Quite simply: take a piece of rebar and punch it through a piece of 3/4 plywood. It ain't easy. But you can kill a man by striking him in the head with your fist, and a pencil can be driven into the human skull at the temple pretty easily.

This argument reminds me of the helmet argument and motorcycles. Put on a motorcycle helmet and have a friend hit you over the head with a baseball bat. Now try it without the helmet. Explosives, no matter how they are packaged, are dangerous.
