Mine is an old apartment size refrigerator. It will hold a couple cases. Remember, no locks or latches on magazines.
I also put an explosives warning sign on my shop, and informed the local fire department if it ever catches fire, stay da hell back, and wait for the earth shattering boom.
I use a full size refrigerator. Lots of shelves and door is only held shut by magnetic strips
 
What a can of BP WILL DO is EXPLODE if you shoot it with a .30-06. Many years ago (late fifties) a hunter safety instructor I had did this to a very old can about 3/4 full, sitting on top of a good sized stump. Range was a hundred yards. The fireball was quite large. Top of the stump was quite charred.

Interesting, considering blackpowder is normally not impact sensitive

I have put 150 gr. BP on an anvil and slammed it with a large brass hammer. It did not go off after several attempts. My niece whom is a LEO zapped another pile of BP with her taser, it didn't go off.

After we get out of this mess we're in, maybe someone will try what I said I saw and report back. Unless the chemistry has changed it's going to explode. The can used in the demo was an old, red metal one.
