    Possible with a semi auto, since the chamber and barrel would transmit heat better to a chambered round then the magazine and all the safety parts don’t really assume cook off. Yeah a round fires, slide racks back and loads next round, next round cooks off, over and over until all rounds are the same temp.

    Spooky stuff.

      it’s possible, but i’d also assume you would probably not have a round chambered at all, so. Although, depending on the gun, it’s not held back, so you’re probably not going to properly rack and engage another round into the chamber. From what i understand, most small handguns have this problem if you limpwrist them. It’s less common sometimes, but i imagine if it’s not being held at all, this is going to be a pretty common occurrence.

        This is the same person that put a loaded firearm in the oven we both know there was a round in the chamber.

        And no, in my experience very few hand guns have the “limpwrist” issue.

          yeah, that’s probably fair.

          And no, in my experience very few hand guns have the “limpwrist” issue.

          hmm, either case, this guns is im assuming just sitting in there, so if it does fire a round, the force to rack the slide would have to be less than the required force to move the gun around. It’s possible it could do both, due to physics fuckery, but i’ve not exactly tested that one…

            I really want to test this, but the idea of inventing a more random version of Russian roulette where the gun is in a box and will shoot at random in a random direction you can not see…

            Damn it, I need to test this.

              Can I recommend digging a hole to test in. In addition to the typical hide behind a very solid wall not right next to it with some way to remotely pull the trigger. And one live round with the followup round being a dummy would also be a good bet.

              But there are so many variables to test here… If it works on a smooth surface then you gotta see if it works on a surface like an oven rack. Would have to check different models as well. We just really need some semiprofessional to test this thoroughly.

                I would need to ether dig a whole and also have a bullet stopping roof on it or build a four berm range. I was thinking the better way to test it would be to hand load some rounds with the same powder load and bullet weight (needed to cycle the action) but with a bullet equivalent that is not capable of much penetration (like a fine lead powder).

                I think I would start with 2 rounds and the firearm fixed in place (to test if the action will cycle at all). Then go to oven with gun on baking sheet and 2 rounds. Then go oven rack and 2 rounds. And then maybe baking sheet and full mag if it all worked as theorized. I don’t think you need a way to pull the trigger since the firearm while heating is inherently in an unsafe condition, you would have to instead leave the thing to cool for a long time (also to rule out hang fires) and unload the rounds for inspection (not to be reused).

                  Oh I was definitely just considering testing the firearm being able to cycle the action when sitting loose on a flat surface, lol. I wasn’t anticipating getting a fully functioning oven in the hole, that does complicate the matter considerably.

                    Oh if I tested this it would be full on danger oven. The most expensive part would be the ruined pistols (extra difficult in my country where we can no longer legally buy new ones)

      looking at the images they showed the handle looked messed up, the call also stated an explosion not multiple, suggesting all the ammo went off at once.

        I would assume even if a few rounds went off in the barrel once a set temp was reached they would all cook off. The mechanics of this is really interesting.
