So this is where all our ammo went!!!! They destroyed hundreds of thousands of rounds....
Hard to watch with today's ammo shortage.

Check the 4:30 mark. They said that two of the handgun cartridges ignited, but there was no propagation of detonation. However, the video clearly shows one of the detonated cartridges with no dent in the primer. What caused the round to go off?
