Maybe it should be added that not all inert ordnance is actually inert..
Back at the end of basic training I happened to be among the lucky few who got to empty a stock of 40 mm. L/60 shells from the storage.
The entire lot of 384 shells, packed in 24 sealed containers of 16 rounds, was manhandeled out to a Bofors L/60 gun overlooking the sea, and we prepared the piece for the fire.
