there's an easy way to help deal with ordinance that's cooking off (a naval term, I believe).
with alot of the refits and customs I've been working in 2D Pixel art, I've been installing blast plating, meant to be blown outward, to help vent the resultant overpressure.

I got the idea from the magazine stores on the M1A1 abrams main battle tank, they use a very similar system for the ammo stores.

in the event an enemy round causes the ammo to cook off, the blast plates are blown out, hopefully giving full vent to the explosion, while protecting the tank's crew from harm.

it's a proven system too.

Universal Law #001: anything and everything that could possibly go wrong can and probably will, and, most likely, at the least opportune time. My favorite game music :KH tunes .
