Modern NATO ammunition does not detonate. It is INERT.
Buddy the term that youre trying to use is insensitive explosives, training heat for example have an inert warhead, and not all of them are insensitive.

The ammunition does not violently explode. It cannot do so because of the chemical used. That is why you see them ALWAYS burn up and not visciously explode. Modern NATO ammunition does not violently explode.
They said this wasn’t an “explosion” even though the guy literally calls it a “detonation” in the footage. If that is a NATO detonation, it is safe. That’s the point of stress tests.

Alos here the blow out panel saved the crew, but we dont know witch amo the m1 use
I sent this as well. “Not an Explosion,” they said.
Pretty fucking violent compared to what I usually have happen in WarThunder.
And we do know what ammunition it uses. The majority of all shells carried by crewmembers is universally Chemical in nature. The M1A1/A2 lacks a proper HE shell (until really recently). This means most shells in that bustle are HEAT-FS.
If for most standard most rounds they probably carry HEAT-MP or HE most tanks operation irl not carrying most Sabot like we does in this game.
Yeah tank combat haplen almost never so they carry more he or heat

That might be because shot HE is designed to explode and cause as much damage as possible.
But this answered my point.
Even safe ammo compartments aren’t 100% indestructible, HE, HEAT, HESH and similar explosives will still kill the crew if hit in a wrong way.
If you feel this is wrong in any way, please create your own thread.
Do you know what abrams is that, m1a1 ?
Yes. It is an Iraqi export M1A1SA. The video was taken in 2016.
So WE need the loader Manual and Look what the normal shell load ist
Iraqi M1A1SA models use KE-W for APFSDS and HEAT-FS (likely MP). Although it usually depends on the mission set before a sortie, it is logical to assume this bustle was filled with mostly HEAT-FS based on the combustion witnessed. APFSDS don’t have that much explosives in them, and they are generally carried in much fewer numbers because tank-on-tank engagements are exceedingly rare.
Great example, the explosive was 90% exposed to air yet the metal plate has a hole in it. If explosion happends, no blast door will save the crew.
Bad Example. Modern NATO explosives used in ammunition do not explode when struck. They are inert. Stop making me repeat myself.
Very specific conditions must be met to make them go off, which are required and met when firing but not when stowed. They will burn up but not explode.
You can see this happen in modern footage with M1 tanks and Leopard tanks. The ammunition fires up but does not blow up.

I mean in general they probably don’t running around with most of the rounds is sabot like we do in the games
Which also bring up the question that how tf few rounds of chemical is enough to kill crew with blast door intact (if gaijin do believe such nonsense about blast door not protect against explosion)
Exactly. If most ammunition stowed is HE in nature, as it is in reality, and blowout panels, according to these people, don’t work with mass stowed HE type shells, then what is the point of a Blowout Panel? Furthermore, how do we consistently see them saving crews if they do not work against high explosives?
They have footage of tests and combat in front of them, and they don’t care. They think they know more than people who get paid billions and hire the most intelligent people of our time to make these things.
