Don't want to have any opinions about this.. but it brought out a little memory from my time in green.

My troop at the time where at the shooting range mid winter. During the lunch brake, it was common to light a fire with the cardboard containers wich our ammunition came in. About 50 of us where warming ourself around the fire, when suddenly some hefty bangs came from it. Somehow, a cardboard containing one hundred 7.62 (30.06) Nato rounds where placed into the fire. Within seconds, all of them went off.
Many of us got fragments on our pants, but non of them penetrated the fabric. We just left the fire to burn out and continued where we left, as no one got hurt by it. Strangely enough, most of the rounds still had their bullet in them. It was mostly the casings that where torn apart. However, a big bag of black powder would probably be a totally different cup of tee.
