    No guarantees but unlikely to seriously injure anything but your underpants.

    And seriously doubt it could ever be fatal.

    I hear you but I was considering the event happened in a hunting pack.

    I recall in Guns & Ammo where a 30-06 round was ‘cooked-off’ on an electric element.

    The round was covered by a cardboard box and none of the bits of the cartridge penetrated the cardboard.

    My 2-cents worth!

    We used to set .22s off with a hammer on an anvil. Place side down and flattening the primmer end. Projectile would bounce around the trusses,
