The procedure for disposal of un-serviceable, damaged or condemned munitions in the Air Force used to be to dig a pit of the appropriate size no more than 2 feet deep, line the pit with plastic, stack the munitions (bombs, bullets, cartridges and such) on the plastic then pump a couple of hundred gallons of jet fuel on it and use a "approved" remote ignition device like time fuze and a pull ignitor, IIRC I used det-cord once but got to many "kick-outs".

Folks can't drive very well when they're trying to get dressed and drive at the same time.
