Smells more of a way to destroy two "evil" guns and promote the ending of shooting than it does actually serving justice  :'(

This is a joke, right? Steel jacketed bullets? Rifles have a adamantium barrel?  Was he shooting flint targets with these steel bullets above dried grass and kindling he piled up?

His lawyer dead from the neck up?

Wouldn't a 'steel jacket' be a 'deadly cop killer bullet' that is outlawed?

How many thousands of rounds have the members on this board shot in the woods or other grassy areas?  Ever hear of a fire starting?  Only time it happen to me was in the Army with tracers and then only when the whole line was firing FA!

Countless. I guess hunting will be the next thing outlawed in Cal-E-forn-E-a...... must save those sacred trees (And those idiots who decide to build their homes in areas that are consumed by wildfires each and every year)..... Peace, love, and mother earth Dude.

Dude?

Don't forget the insurance companies paying out on these losses will raise your rates to cover the costs of stupidity.  The shore homes on LI get rebuilt after every destructive storm on your tax dollar - flood insurance.

DUDE!

I think this is possible, however the probability is very low.
I did the search on this case, and one article mentioned that he used the "assault rifle" for target shooting. I couldn't find more details, but some of the surplus ammo made with the bimetal jacketed bullets. Some of the surplus ammo is steel core. Russian 7.62X39 is a good example; steel jacket is copper washed and called bimetal by the manufacturer.
He did call almost immediately to report the fire. So, here we have very unfortunate chain of events.
 :( :( :(

steel core ammo can and do cuase fires, it just does not happen very often.   CA is a tender box right now, on bad spark and it will burn.
