For nearly 50 years i've done EOD/UXO stuff. First served 20+ years in US Army EOD.

Destroyed a billion or two rounds of small arms ammunition, mostly by burning in open pits with dunnage. A bullet or cartridge case seldom travels more than 20 feet after the round cooks off.

This pit contains about ten million rounds of 5.56mm and 7.62mm ammo:
