Merge from thermally induced firing

Reason: Duplicate articles

Both articles say essentially the exact same thing but have different supporting information. Let's just combine them so that all the information about cook offs is in one place. --TheLimbicOne(talk) 05:20, 30 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

clarity and precision

Most small arms do not have explosive projectiles, and most explosives burn or melt when heated, rather than explode. Cooking off usually means the propellant is burning, not that the ammunition "explodes", as the first sentence reads. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.63.88.111 (talk) 07:04, 6 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

M249

Since the M249 doesn't have an article of its own, lets add the M60 or the M240.

someone put the m296, did they mean the 249 because I have never heard of the 296.71.145.132.120 23:48, 16 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The M296 is a remote-operated variant of the M2, but I don't think that's what was intended - the 249 is probably what he or she meant. Bartleby 01:21, 17 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Blow-off Panels

for the part about the M1 Abrams MBT, the Blow-off panels, i think it would be useful to add Explosive Reactive Armour (ERA) for the link to. id do it, but i dont want to edit anything for fear of getting banned.

Blow-off panels for the ammunition compartments are a very different thing from explosive reactive armor. --Carnildo 01:32, 28 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
