Was burning cardboard boxes that were sitting in the garage. Eventually I said, "no need to go through the contents, I will just chuck them in the fire!" About the same time, I found a pack of firecrackers, so being an idiot I threw them in the fire. they all went off, yay fireworks.
A minute later I heard another firecracker go off, I thought it was weird it took this long to get all of them. Another minute, and another one goes off. Then another and another, this time they are really loud for firecrackers. Then one goes off, and half of the burn pile goes flying. I thought that was one hell of a firecracker...
Another minute goes by and another one goes off, and I hear a hiss, and something hit the barn's tin roof off in the distance.
Finally I think, 'something isn't right here' I get a hose and put out the fire. After digging through the pile, I find a carton of .44 magnum, and a carton of .38 rounds. As well as a ton of exploded cartridges.
Ha, me thinking those were firecrackers, should have something was wrong when a firecracker nearly makes you go deaf, and puts a hole in the roof of the barn. And that hiss the bullet makes when it goes flying, should have known right there that something wasn't right.
I have all the remaining ammo sitting on my nightstand, as well as the cartridges. Those magnum rounds destroy themselves, the cases are torn apart.
Maybe it's not smart to have that stuff sitting in my room; going to end up shooting myself if I bump the stand.
