I guess I'm thinking an engineering vacuum and you are right. It isn't so much vacuum packing as air extraction. Fractions of a PSI difference. It would allow more creative ammo storage than cans. Um, the sand bags. Yeah, they are against the side of the foundation in the crawlspace, because it reduces the water that was coming in with the rain. They aren't packed with as much ammo as sand, or anything.
