This video tests the corrosion resistance of brass versus steel-cased ammunition when exposed to saltwater for one week. Surprisingly, both types of ammunition, despite visible corrosion, were able to fire successfully. The 7.62x39 steel-cased ammunition showed more extensive damage than the .223 Remington brass-cased rounds.

This video from Let's Shoot It tests the reliability of steel-cased 9mm ammunition after prolonged exposure to saltwater. An experimental approach is used, submerging a TulAmmo 9mm round in saltwater via timelapse to observe corrosion. The corroded round is then loaded into a Taurus G3c pistol to determine if it will fire. The test reveals that despite a clear primer strike, the saltwater-damaged round results in a misfire, highlighting potential failure points for ammunition stored in adverse conditions.
