Ammunition cabinet: store ammunition in compliance with the law

Anyone who owns firearms generally also owns ammunition for them. An ammunition cabinet is indispensable for storing ammunition in a legally compliant manner and secure from unauthorized access, as required by Section 36 of the Weapons Act. Purchasing a separate ammunition cabinet is particularly worthwhile for gun owners who value organization and the highest safety standards. Bremer Tresor models meet the highest quality standards as well as legal requirements.

Ammunition cabinet: Storing ammunition separately from weapons

The storage of weapons is regulated by the legislator in § 36 of the German Weapons Act. It specifies that ammunition must be kept in a secure container, protected against unauthorized access, even if you do not own a firearm.

Separate storage of weapons and ammunition is not required; furthermore, unlike a gun safe, an ammunition cabinet does not need to meet a specific security grade.

!

Attention An ammunition cabinet must at least be a steel container with a swivel-bolt lock (or a comparable locking system).

However, the security features of a high-quality ammunition cabinet go far beyond these minimum requirements: many of our models are available with additional locking mechanisms and optional floor anchoring, a plus for increased burglary protection.

Those who need the space for ammunition—for example, because they own various weapons—and would like to store possessions of (not too great) value are well advised to use an ammunition cabinet. The advantages are obvious: an ammunition cabinet not only protects your weapons and ammunition from theft, but also from access by unauthorized persons, such as children. Some models can also be used flexibly, as they are equipped with height-adjustable or removable shelves.

Furthermore, with several shelves, you also have the option to create order and keep other items, such as cash or objects of sentimental value, protected in the cabinet. A dedicated safe is suitable for valuable items.

Anyone who violates the legal regulations on ammunition storage not only risks fines, but potentially also the loss of their firearms license. Therefore, it is essential to store ammunition exclusively in a suitable ammunition cabinet.

Selection

Buying an ammunition cabinet: the different sizes

At Bremer Tresor, in addition to high-quality, tested gun safes of all kinds, you can also get dedicated ammunition cabinets in various sizes. All models are equipped with a cylinder lock as standard. Optionally, every ammunition cabinet can be equipped with a practical electronic combination lock, excellent for anyone who wants to do without keys and still values maximum security.

Atelli 40

The Atelli series contains models of different sizes; the Atelli 40 is the smallest among them. The 10 kg, 40 cm high ammunition cabinet with 45 liters of volume and 2 integrated shelves is excellent for storing ammunition.

Atelli 70

The medium-sized model in the Atelli series is the Atelli 70. With a height of 70 cm, a weight of 19 kg, and a capacity of 82 liters, the Atelli 70 is ideal for users who want to store more ammunition. Four shelves ensure an organized ammunition store and offer space for other items that should be protected from prying eyes as well as theft.

Atelli 130 (B)

The Atelli 130 and the Atelli 130B are the two largest ammunition cabinets in the Bremer Tresor assortment.

The Atelli 130 is a 130 cm high ammunition cabinet weighing 42 kg with 6 shelves. This results in a capacity of 193 liters and plenty of space for large quantities of ammunition.

The Atelli 130B also offers plenty of space at a height of 130 cm and 6 shelves. The B-version of the model is twice as wide as the regular Atelli 130 and accordingly has a volume of 382 liters.

i
Note We deliver your ammunition cabinet free to the curb. If your desired model weighs more than 30 kilograms, we can, if requested, also bring it to the final installation site. From this weight limit, you can optionally book anchoring to the floor or the rear wall, which is possible with all our ammunition cabinets and safes.
Certification

Ammunition cabinet: Resistance classes and security levels

For owners of only one firearm, a high-quality and solidly equipped gun safe is generally sufficient to correctly store the weapon and its ammunition. This must comply with legal regulations and therefore be tested for its resistance against break-ins and certified according to EN 1143-1.

At Bremer Tresor, you can get high-quality gun safes in different designs and sizes. Many of our gun safes have their own compartments intended for the storage of ammunition.

The following types of safes are available for you to choose from in the weapon storage section:

Gun safes, unlike ammunition cabinets, must meet a security level or resistance class. Below you will see an overview of the gun safe security levels and the respective permitted quantity of long guns, handguns, and ammunition:
