Your post states "mainly ammunition storage." Are other explosive or pyrotechnics stored in the magazine? If so, that storage is in violation of NFPA 495 and BATF&E regulations.
If your storage is limited to ammunition, you can protect it with automatic sprinkler protection. However, the system is not required by NFPA 495 or the 2003 International Fire Code.
