Videos tagged with Corrosive Ammo

This video's title, 'This Ammo Will Ruin Your Gun!', strongly suggests a content focus on potentially damaging ammunition types and their effect on firearms. Without a transcript or further description, it's implied the video will explore specific ammunition issues, possibly including case head separation, over-pressure signs, or corrosive primers. The content likely aims to educate viewers on what to avoid to maintain their firearm's integrity, making it relevant for gun owners concerned about ammunition quality and its impact.

This review of GROM 7.62x39mm ammunition, imported by Atlantic Firearms, reveals it's a budget-friendly but corrosive and dirty-burning option. While it performed reliably in standard 16-inch AKM platforms like the WASR-10 and Maadi, it experienced significant extraction issues and heavy fouling in a short-barreled Riley Defense Krink. Despite the fouling and corrosive primers, immediate rust was not observed after a two-day delay.

This video debunks the myth that a worn-out firearm barrel will explode. The hosts explain that bore wear, which increases the barrel's diameter, actually leads to lower pressures. They discuss various ways a barrel can wear, including throat erosion (leade wear) in handguns, general rifling wear from extensive use, improper cleaning, and corrosive ammunition. The rare case of the curved barrel on the German WWII StG 44 'Krummlauf' is mentioned as a potential, though highly unlikely, failure point, but this is distinguished from typical bore wear. The video clarifies that while barrel wear can affect accuracy, it will not cause an explosion. They also provide a tip to avoid overcleaning .22 caliber firearms due to their shallow rifling.

This review of the SDM AK-103s highlights significant manufacturing flaws, including a canted optic rail and poor fit and finish, making it difficult to zero optics. Despite these external issues, the internal components like the trunnion and bolt are surprisingly durable. The video explores the 'beater rifle' philosophy, where a cheap firearm can be subjected to abuse without concern for its condition.

This "Smyth Busters" episode debunks the myth that chrome-lined barrels are less accurate than non-chromed barrels. Brownells Gun Techs Caleb and Steve explain that while early chrome-lined barrels had accuracy issues, modern plating processes are highly consistent, resulting in no meaningful difference in accuracy under 1,000 yards. The video highlights the significant advantage of chrome-lined barrels in corrosion resistance, especially when shooting corrosive ammunition or with infrequent cleaning. The process is also noted to work exceptionally well with cold hammer-forged barrels. The conclusion is that for the average shooter, chrome-lined barrels offer superior longevity and performance.

This video demonstrates the critical process of cleaning corrosive ammunition residue from firearms, specifically a PSL 54. It highlights the necessity of using fresh water, preferably warm, to dissolve and flush out corrosive salts immediately after shooting. The demonstration covers disassembling the rifle, flushing the receiver, barrel, and gas system with water, followed by thorough drying and oiling to prevent rust and oxidation.

This evaluation of Romanian 8mm Mauser ammunition from the 1970s reveals a consistent, though not precision-oriented, load. The MD 71 cartridges feature lacquered steel cases, steel-core bullets, and Berdan primers, noting a unique 56mm case length. While reliable for general use and machine guns, the ammunition is corrosive and requires thorough cleaning.

This comprehensive review by AK Operators Union, Local 47-74, details a 5.45x39mm ammunition test using an Arsenal SLR104FR. Expert analysis covers velocity, consistency, and reliability of various brands including 7N6 Surplus, Wolf Performance, Silver Bear, and Red Army Standard. The video provides valuable insights into the performance differences and includes crucial advice on handling corrosive ammunition.

This video satirically demonstrates improvised field maintenance and repair techniques for an AK-74, including cleaning with urine to neutralize corrosive ammo residue and using a shoelace for bore cleaning and oiling. It also humorously showcases 'bubba-ish' repair using adhesive tape. The content is presented for comedic effect and not as a guide for safe or effective firearm practices.

This video focuses on the potential issues and considerations of using corrosive ammunition, specifically within the context of AK-pattern firearms.

This video explains the dangers of corrosive ammunition, which leaves behind salts that can rust firearm components. It details how to properly clean corrosive residues by dissolving salts in water immediately after firing, focusing on soaking metal parts, rinsing barrels, and drying thoroughly. Water-based solvents are offered as an alternative for those hesitant to use plain water.

This YouTube video provides a practical demonstration of how to clean an AK-platform rifle after firing corrosive surplus ammunition. The creator outlines their personal cleaning process, emphasizing its effectiveness in preventing issues. The video also encourages viewers to follow them on Facebook for more content and to subscribe for future uploads. While the specific AK model isn't mentioned, the focus is clearly on AK maintenance and the unique challenges presented by corrosive ammo.
