Interesting but wished they did a burn test with ammo in metal or G.I.  ammo cans.
Wonder who paid for this ammo which leads me to suggest to government that since everyone is getting a handout, gunowners should get a subsidy of 1K rounds cal of their choice for practice purposes per year.   ;D

Since SAAMI is the ammo and ammo components manufacturers trade organization I would speculate that the manufacturers of the ammo shown in the tests donated it to SAAMI for the purposes of making the video.

Good point.
Let's try it!

My guess is that the rubber seals will melt first making the can incapable of holding pressure.
If it can't hold pressure it can't make a horribly violent explosion.
