    What? I did not say that. I was talking about storing explosives in a closed metal box (vending machine) is basically a bomb and the company was incorrectly thinking security of live ammo only had to do with theft and access. Did you just do the same exact thing as the people who make this vending machine?

    Also to note, at least outside of america ammo is mostly stored securely (as in not a bomb and not trivially accessible out side of a store). You could argue that it could be better, but honestly the theft part is not the big issue in most places outside of america due to needing a firearm (or rough equivalent) to use the ammo.

    ?

    There are not really as much restrictions about ammo storage and less so with a vending machine. But what do you mean by bypass? What does it not being a person matter (any storage is not a person unless they are hooping rounds and yet people are still responsible for storage)?

    Eh, everything vends in the end. That is not the weird part to me, its the blatant disregard of explosive storage safety that has me fascinated. Like this is from a company that makes ammo as well, and this makes me wonder if there is any design for a blow out or if they are also storing ammo like this in their facilities.

    So I was looking at their little bit on security and I think its a riot that they do not even seem to hint at the issue of a cook off. In fact they seem to think security of live ammunition is just about theft and ID checking.

    “Every transaction is powered by advanced card scanning and facial recognition technology to verify ID and age, ensuring every sale is secure, compliant, and backed by the highest standards of responsibility.”

    That is it, nothing else. Even looking at drink vending machines they have info on the mechanics of their machine (how it keeps things cold, how it stores and vends etc.).

    For comparison every place I have seen ammo sold its ether just on a shelf, locked behind glass (not able to hold much pressure), or in a locked metal cage.

    Fun part is when you look at non us places that sell ammo they don’t have this issue, I have been in general stores that do sell all 3 items and would never, ever think to do this. Somehow the us manages to be the worst of both no firearm safety knowledge and also thinking everyone should have a firearm.

    I hate to put the joke into the cruel light of reality but ammunition does not shoot when burned, the whole first name for brass cased ammo was “safety rounds” due to the design of the round being crimped means the brass will break open and nothing will shoot out when set off outside of a chamber. A round needs a to be chambered to “shoot” the projectile. When you hear about ammunition “cooking off” what is actually happening is the container the ammo in is acts like a pressure vessel and becoming a bomb. When people are hit with things in an ammo cook off its actually shrapnel (the container) doing most of the damage.

    So in this case it would be the vending machine parts flying into people not the .50 cal rounds “blasting people”. And the funny (and very american) thing is that the big old freedom box would be deadly but the racks and racks of unsecured ammo on shelves in cardboard boxes would not be. In fact the more heavy duty and secure you built the vending machine the worst it would be. But who knows maybe they have blast panels on this thing, making it the most over engineered solution to a problem no one should have.







  • That’s deep meth territory. Most around here doing crime to feed a habit most certainly stick to methods of theft that don’t come with over 10 year sentences. Its been an increasing issue here the last decade but assaults have actually gone down in the same time period. Drugs smuggled up from the nation south of us has created more addicts but that does not make them murderers.
