How do big piles of loose bullets in ammo canisters keep from going off?

Question

I’ve been getting a lot of firearms videos on my YouTube and such and I was wondering how those big ammo boxes full of loose bullets are safe, and how do they keep from being poked on just the right spot with the weight of the pile making a loose bullet fire?

because the primer needs to be hit VERY hard to make the round go off. rumble and tumble of the ammo case isn’t gonna make them go off
