What type of ammunition is allowed to be stowed in a jettisonable locker?

The type of ammunition that is allowed to be stowed in a jettisonable locker is practice ammunition. This is because jettisonable lockers are specifically designed for the storage of ammunition that is not intended for operational use but may still require accessibility onboard.

Practice ammunition often serves training purposes and is typically filled with a less hazardous substance, making it appropriate for storage in such lockers. Jettisonable lockers facilitate safety as they can be quickly ejected if necessary, minimizing risk during emergencies.

In contrast, smoke grenades and thermite grenades have specific handling and storage requirements due to their operational uses and potential hazards. Demolition charges pose substantial risks and have strict guidelines regarding their storage to prevent unauthorized access and potential accidents. These types of ammunition are generally not permitted in jettisonable lockers due to safety regulations and the need for secure and controlled storage environments.
