The main problem for ammo in a fire safe is corrosion, in my experience. No reason to stockpile, and there really isn't much room inside to begin with, so.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

There are standards for the ratings, but..ofc, there could always be such a thing as a faulty unit. If my house blows up because of a faulty unit...that's not my problem, legally. Reasonable precautions need only be reasonable, not certain.
Thing is, there's not actually enough ammo in the safe for it to blow up even if it were faulty. So.....meh.

In some alternate reality where "not responsible" means safes and locks and cables and securing my firearms in accordance with law, sure. This is getting silly.
I just don't have the problems that other people might have. I don't keep much ammo, I buy it when I want to use it...and, obviously, none of my rifles would fit in my little fire safe, lol. The air in this house is pretty bad though. A gun on a closet shelf will rust in a few months without care. Obviously, given the amount of gun bric a brac I've already bought, if I thought I wanted or needed a better ammo storage locker... I'd buy one.
Jackets last longer than 22, another point for the 17wsm.

Non sequitur. No one is suggesting keeping guns in a firesafe.
But you’ve got me curious. Nudger said that a risk of keeping ammo in a fire safe is corrosion, which will (I assume) ruin it. You objected to that, so why would a fire safe ruin a gun but not ammunition?

Mind you, I don't know that it's an issue for every fire safe, or my model, it might even be the air around here is usually pretty damned wet and I would always notice oxidization on the tips no matter what.
It's just a problem I've had. One problem I haven't had..is kids shooting my guns, or worrying about dcf.
