A:  You can use either to open the safe. Your choice

A:  Yes. You can use the fingerprint option only.

A:  You cannot set it so it is fingerprint only, nor can you set it so both are required. So the correct answer is any of the three modes can open this and you cannot remove a mode if you are concerned with the fact that the design means there are actually not many possible combination on the key pad, you cant disable the keypad and use only fingerprints.

A:  Some ammo can be placed in the safe but it really is designed for the pistol. An extra clip can fit with my Glock 17 but that's about it. A smaller conceal type pistol may accommodate more.

A:  I don't know why you couldn't store ammo in this. They recommend not keeping a loaded firearm in it. I keep three loaded magazines and an unloaded pistol in mine. Not much more room than that.

A:  it is small an expensive to use it as a dedicated storage for ammunition. If you wanted to store a loaded gun or a gun wiht a spare loaded mag, and a box of ammo it iwll fit and will be fine. Generally you don't store much boxed ammunition in a safe. It many jurisdiction it is a code problem to do so. Why? Ammunition stored in ammo boxes is a small hazard in a burning home, it is a major hazard if stored in a sizable safe as you are containerization explosives amplifying any explosion. You can get ammo boxes that have spaces for padlocks. But this safe is small and the amount of ammo you would have in it with your firearm is trivial
