Not much of a safe. Its just a 20' shipping container. Probably about as thick steel as a stack on cabinet.

Me, I want a bank vault door set into the reinforced walls with a halon fire suppression system and rolling shelves like you see in museum storage areas

The steel walls on a conex are a lot thicker than a stack on cabinet, lol

Not that much. What are they 1/8"? As opposed to an actual safe that is what 1/2"? The sides have almost no strength. It's the frame that transfers the loads not the skin.

I believe that its a trade show exhibit. Saw one just like it at Shot. Might have been the same one.

The metal that makes up many personal safes is nowhere near that. The walls of the safe may be 1/2" or 1" thick, but that isn't all metal - it includes the fire-resistant lining. The steel that makes the walls is often 14Ga to 10Ga, which is about 0.07" to 0.14" thick.

1/8" is between 10 and 11 gauge. Gun safes are commonly 12 gauge; less commonly 10; 3/16" (between 6 and 7 gauge) or 1/4".
