what would happen if you shot a bullet?

let me elaborate because that sounds stupid. lets say i have mags attached to my plate carrier or what have you and one of the mags takes a bullet. what are the chances of that bullet igniting the powder in the casing that got shot and discharging that round(3) as well?

First of all, watch your language.

Secondly, why would a mag attached to your plate carrier take a bullet?  Expecting to go into battle? 

Unless the bullet happens to strike the primer that sets off the round, nothing is going to happen.

More than that... even if that primer does go off, you are just going to have a cheap fireworks display.  There is not enough pressure to make the bullet kill you.

Go google  cooking off rounds.

A cartridge or round won't explode or fire outside of the chamber of a gun. Maksim said it well calling it nothing more than a fireworks display. You are in NO danger of anything hurting you other than the incoming round. Period!

Because gun forums mean you have to be a rude douchebag who can't follow simple rules? More than 8,000 other people don't seem to have an issue with it, not ask a question that any gun owner would know or have an idea of... 

ammunition is not rocket science... it won't go off unless you crush the primer... and even then... not unless you are holding it closed over your hand.

Think fireworks and why guns have a barrel.

Humn, I did find a way.... 

IF you also have a pack of tannerite or another binary chemicals in that mag pouch... AND the bullet fired at it has sufficient velocity... then yes, you would have a very bad day.

But realistically you don't have much to worry about. =)

    • In 50 years of living in NJ I've never experienced any attempt to inspect the interior of the home, and only one definite inspection of the exterior for an announced reassessment of all properties and that was a drive by. About 9 years of that was living in an apartment, but still, uncommon. Every place I lived had either a finished attic, basement, or both. But they were also included in the habitable square footage on the taxes when we got there. 
    • 27.00 and change in tolls to drive down the shore from Rutherford,  47.00 in tolls to go out to Long island to visit dying relatives. Now I read they are going to raise the fees in the DMV. Murphy lied just to get elected when he said that seniors will get a significant tax break with his StayNJ" program to stop us from leaving.   Keep voting for democrats...this is what you get.  Tax and spend is all they know.  Never cut anything.  This state sucks.
    • I get the added benefit that since I have a TSP rather than a true 401(k) they tax my retirement too. Yaaaay!
