LJ,
OK, as I said, again- if I'm wrong I'm wrong.
On the heat detonation issue, the bullet doesn't just pop out of the case.
When expanding gases separate bullet & case the case becomes the projectile.
It can & does (as RC shows) travel some distance with sufficient force to injure.
Some years ago a teenage girl was building a fire with friends in an old rock fire ring up the hill behind the house. They didn't know some jackass had left a live round in it (people do brainless things up there on occasion), she nearly lost an eye when it detonated from brass fragments that hit her.
