apprentice120mm mortar ammo can uses?
One of those thing that looks tempting but not sure what I'd use it for are these long ammo cans:
120mm ammo can Aside from short firearms, what would you folks poke away in one of these? Remember, the can itself weighs 22 pounds.
Thanks

vinnybassThat seems like a righteous price for a good-sized box. I think I could find a use, but then I'm a sucker for boxes & cases. I recently bought (4) 1630 Pelicans just because the price was to good to pass up.

Chris42If you filled it with ammo and locked it shut no one could steal it. They wouldn’t be able to MOVE it!

BBMWlooks like something someone would fill with miscellaneous junk, throw in the corner of their garage, and never touch ever again.

ArtieSI'm just thinking that full of anything useful, it would be too damned heavy to move, and reaching in to get small bits our of the bottom would be a pest.
Nice box, I just don't see how I would comfortably use it.

Skull LeaderI could see using these for kitting up stuff like camping supplies. I'm imagining putting all your cooking gear in one of these so its all in one place and you just have to grab one box and throw it in the back of your pickup and know everything you need is inside.

It'd get all those 120mm rounds off the garage floor, for one!

Sauer KrautA 16 inch M4 Carbine is 32 inches with the stock fully collapsed. Probably still have room for 10 loaded mags. Just saying’

Joe123I got two of them five years ago, just because they seemed cool. I have yet to use them. Freeze dried food is the best idea yet, because it's light. But my food is in #10 cans, they will not fit.

I was thinking two ARs, mags and enough ammo for those mags.

Interior is 31.5"...missed it by that much. First thing I thought of too.

Keep it coming guys, I'm hoping for an "oh snap that's brilliant!" Moment.

I put 12ga ammo in a 20mm can and it's ok but I would think with anything else it would be an anchor.
