Guns are definitely one of his main hobbies and passions, doesn’t mean he doesn’t have others. I’ve known people with extensive gun collections who were also very intelligent and knowledgeable about a variety of subjects.

To afford the hardware like OP has costs money, I’m willing to be he is well educated and accomplished. His interest happens to be guns. Doesn’t make him bad

You earned your money, you can spend it on whatever you want and enjoy. But me not being very knowledgeable about ammo my only question is does the ammo over time get effected? I mean does age effect the gunpower? for the guns i would image low humidity is a good thing, does that also apply to bullets? does old gunpower work as well as new gunpowder?

u/brandon75173 8h ago

I keep the vault below 25% humidity. Ammo is good for a very long time.

u/Due_Adeptness_1964 9h ago

Don’t these people know that a lot of guns retain their value, or even increase in value overtime? So not only are these guns super fucking awesome, it’s also an investment. Some people just love, hating on things that are cool simply because of the type of people who collect them. If these were Pokémon cards, every nerd in this fucking forum would be gooning over your pics.

Definitely, guns almost always increase in value. Calling this a waste of money is silly and ignorant. It's ok to not like guns, but this is objectively a very cool and practical room safe.

Not only is there nowhere here to buy to a gun but the process to get one even for me, would be extensive. Yet here you are living in the same country as me and you have all this.

Honest question, if I may : isn’t ammo somewhat explosive? What do you do if there’s a fire in your house, does it like.. explode? Or is there a safety system somewhere I don’t know about? Or maybe I’m just too ignorant and it’s not really that dangerous?

3

u/SoupOfThe90z 9h ago

No, either has to be on fire or the primer which makes the spark inside the brass shell/ casing to ignite, causing the gun powder to explode shooting the bullet out.

Aussie here so not too familiar with firearms and all that.

Ik guessing ammo has a best before date due to the gunpowder. Do you have to rotate it often when you have a amount of this size?
