Which of the following items are military munitions?

• A. Explosives used for mining
• B. Artillery projectiles in storage at a U.S. Army installation
• C. Power tools
• D. Civilian fireworks

Answer: (B)

The concept being tested is what items count as military munitions: weapons, ammunition, and components designed for use in weapons, or materials used to produce a weapon effects in a military context. Artillery projectiles stored at a U.S. Army installation clearly meet this definition because they are ammunition that would be used with artillery weapons and are held in military storage as part of weapons systems. The other options don’t fit as military munitions: explosives used for mining are industrial explosives geared toward civilian work, not weapon use; power tools are general-purpose tools without a weapon application; civilian fireworks are consumer pyrotechnics for entertainment, not military ordnance.
