GLOCK magazine with 9 hollow points found in the sand.

[night crusader]

At the local spot today and Im given a tip to swing over around by these fire pits. Less then five minutes later and 6 inches down out pop s a 12 round Glock magazine. Lucky me because I have a wealth of knowledge when it comes to firearms being a Marine.Just to think if some kids got ahold of it. So I brought it to the lifeguard and they called the sheriffs to come grab it. FIRST FOR EVERYTHING lately. Thanks for the read and HH. OH YEAH the magazine belonged to some VIPs bodyguard WAIT HE SURE DID DROP THE MAGAZINE ON THIS ONE����

I don't want to take away from his thread, however a lot of misconceptions are out there with bullets and fire. This is a great video to watch.



Firefighters ALL get trained and KNOW THIS. So do cops.

Thanks SD , I have argued this with many different guys over the years. No containment of exhaust gasses equals no significant velocity. Thanks for the link.... now maybe they will just drink their beer and shut up.

When I find old rusty magazines in the water i just leave them there, in my area they are as common as rocks. Little gun-shaped concreations of metal are also very common in my hunting areas - all saturday night specials from the 1970's and 80's mostly - completely concreted. TONS of them. Old rusty guns everywhere I don't even bother taking them they're so many.

I wanted to give you a like for this post, but, I know your area and possibly one or two of the former owners of those old guns..... can't like that.....but, you know what I'm saying.

I am sorry but believe you are wrong about a semi-auto in a fire! As long as the weapon's action is still able to work in chambering a round, it can continue to go off if the barrel gets hot enough. While in the U.S. Army, I have seen many automatic weapons cook off more than just one round when the barrel or barrels got too hot and semi-auto reloading weapons will do the same.

Frank, I see where you are coming from and you could be right of course. I was thinking that the other rounds would be hot enough to go off in the magazine. HOWEVER, if the magazine wasn't hot enough yet, I could see the weapon firing other rounds and self loading. So either is right, depending on where the fire is under the weapon. But if the whole weapon is engulfed in flames, I think the ones in the magazine would be the first to explode because there isn't much metal to protect them and when the barrel got hot enough that round could potentially be deadly.

However, I really don't want to take away from the OP's find and we have. I have found two loaded Lewis machine gun magazines which I have still. They are two of my favorite finds. Got my second one this year. Mine are WW1 and historical. I bet the OP wished he would have found the whole gun.

Casper, I wonder what kind of weapon yours was for? It wasn't military because you have FMJ and hollow point bullets mixed. The military doesn't use hollow points.

talk about dropping a load____ in NY you would be a violent felon just for having that assault mag. we have the SAFE ACT----only criminals are allowed to have deadly weapons

Lol, try living here in Australia mate. Women can't even have pepper-spray to defend themselves. Defend yourself here and you get charged with assault

Periodically, the NYPD in conjunction with a local church in Brooklyn or Harlem, will give you $200. for turning in a handgun in "WORKING ORDER", with no questions asked.
If you could restore some of those guns to
"WORKING ORDER",,
Well, just don't get caught. Possession is an automatic jail sentence in NYC.

Looks like a "whole nine yards" to me. Being a Marine, first of all, thanks! Then as an aside, you know to what that phrase originally referred.

Even if in the fire pit, you would hear bangs like fire crackers and maybe get hit by a hot shell casing but nothing more.

Nothing!?!? Depends on what part of me is getting hit by a "hot shell" OR a hot lead projectile.

 

[DetectingGodlikeOnOlympus]

That seems like a very hasty response to finding a magazine full of rounds in the sand. I don't see any reason to involve any authorities or bureaucrats.

Load my airplane with the whole nine yards.
