An oven door can stop bullets.

BUSTED

The oven door failed to stop .38 caliber rounds, .357 magnum rounds, and shotgun shells. The only exception was that the .22 caliber pistol rounds were unable to pierce the steel part of the oven door.

 

Bullets can explode with lethal force if they are stored inside a hot oven.

BUSTED

The Mythbusters placed a .22 caliber, .44 caliber, and .50 caliber bullet inside an oven. All of the bullets exploded once the oven was hot enough, but none of them were able to penetrate the oven. Without a gun barrel to contain and direct the propellant gases, the bullets did not develop enough speed to pierce the glass or steel portions of the oven. The shell casings actually caused more damage than the bullets.

 

edit: they were testing one bullet at a time, not a magazine full of them.

 

still, why would anyone ever keep bullets in a device that's meant to heat up to several hundred degrees?

Darwin has a theory about that...
