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.

Quick Summary

Testing revealed that steel-cased ammunition corrodes more severely than brass-cased ammunition when exposed to saltwater for a week. Despite significant corrosion, both types of ammunition were still capable of firing, though the 7.62x39 steel-cased rounds were 'totally destroyed'.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does saltwater damage ammunition?

Yes, prolonged exposure to saltwater can significantly corrode ammunition. This test showed that steel-cased 7.62x39 ammunition corroded much more severely than brass-cased .223 Remington ammunition after just one week.

Can corroded ammunition still fire?

Surprisingly, in this test, both heavily corroded brass and steel-cased ammunition were still able to fire. However, the video strongly advises against attempting this due to potential reliability issues and safety concerns.

Which ammunition type corrodes more in saltwater: brass or steel?

In the saltwater corrosion test, steel-cased ammunition (7.62x39) showed significantly more corrosion and damage compared to brass-cased ammunition (.223 Remington) after one week.

What are the risks of using corroded ammunition?

Using corroded ammunition can lead to firearm malfunctions, such as failure to feed, failure to fire, or extraction issues. It's crucial to store ammunition properly and avoid exposing it to corrosive elements.
