Ammunition box

Some enthusiasts and investors collect historical ammunition boxes. Many also use them as containers for the recreational activity of Geocaching. ==Storage==

Due to their durable construction, used metal ammunition boxes are popularly re-used for general storage and other purposes. They are a popular choice for geocaching containers. Used ammunition boxes have lead and propellant residue inside, so they should not be used to store food or drink. Commercially-made new or fully reconditioned used boxes do not have this problem. Used boxes are often sold at military surplus stores. ==Regulations==

Shipments of explosives and similar hazards are highly regulated. Based on the UN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods model regulations, each country has coordinated design and performance requirements for shipment. For example, in the US, the Department of Transportation has jurisdiction and published requirements in Title 49 of the Code of Federal Regulations. The applicable regulation depends on the level of hazard, quantity being shipped, mode of transit, etc. ==Gallery==
