    Actually mate I barely felt it, the hole in my pocket is more of a burn hole than anything. Still, as you and others have said, ziplock bags and full mags is great thinking. Or seperate pockets or whatever.. Just not hanging out together!

    Damz thanks for the heads up. Heaps of current the 18650s.. Dam i wounder how a .17hmr would go, might be nastier as they seem more solidly closed than a .22.

    The thought of a dead shorted 18650 in my pocket scares me more than the prospect of a live round cooking off!

    Those Li-ion and especially Li-pol cells have a very low internal resistance which allows a much higher current to flow, more than 10 amps. So that's about 40 Watts for a brief time until the ptc kicks in and causes the circuit resistance to increase thus limiting current. I think they are great batteries but one must treat them with respect, be safe

    That is scary as fuck. I wonder how much power they lose without any "focus" to use the blast to push the projectile out if you know what i mean.

    They studied it for a while then got brave and stood at the door. They were getting hit by projectiles but nothing was moving fast enough to do any damage at all.
    They also did a range of tests on packaged ammo, dropping it, shooting it etc and the results were surprising in the fact that ammo is really quite safe until is loaded into a barrel

    Interesting. We've all seen a bunch of movies where some wily hero puts ammo in a frying pan to use as a distraction or some such. But we also know how BS Hollywood is when it comes to guns though. I wonder how much force something like a 308 would have going off in a pocket?
