Some ammo will start cooking off at around 350 degrees. Ovens have fired guns in the past under similar circumstances. | |||

It can get 140-160° in a car in direct sunlight, but that isn't nearly hot enough to "cook off" a cartridge. It takes ~500-550° … which is an oven set to broil. A cartridge in the chamber of a firearm will discharge at full power. | |||

There was an article some years ago based on a test in which they started to see rifle round cook-offs in the 400-450 F. range. | |||

Anyone else find it ironic that this was reported on wFMJ? "Shoot first, shoot fast, shoot straight, shoot last." -- attribution unknown (to me) | |||

I would say it sounds too ridiculous to be true, but my sister melted a laptop in her oven doing the same thing about eight years ago. Kept it there because nobody checks the oven when they break in to rob you. So yeah, people actually do this.  ______________________________________________ Carthago delenda est | |||

I can tell you with certainty that a .22 bullet will pop in a425° oven. The case exploded in several pieces. | |||

Thank goodness we have made it to page two and no one has insisted on “booger hook on the bang switch” as they do in every article about a gun going off. I swear, if I could find the dude who was the first one sitting there picking his nose and he pulls it out and goes “Huh, booger hook”. And then he looks at his pistol and loudly proclaims “BANG SWITCH” like somehow he just cured cancer, I would send a Terminator back to visit his great grand parents just to be sure. | |||

Is that the definition of hot lead? "It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye". The Little Prince, Antoine de Saint-Exupery, pilot and author, lost on mission, July 1944, Med Theatre. | |||

Come on man, everyone knows your kitchen gun goes in the toaster, though you do have to shop around for the extra wide/bagel option to ensure universal fit. Success always occurs in private, and failure in full view. Complacency sucks… | |||

I read the article and the first thing I thought of was The Simpsons when Homer got his gun and he kept it in the vegetable crisper because kids would never look there. ———————————————— The world's not perfect, but it's not that bad.
