Why Did Soviets Boil Ammo?
This guide details a practical test to determine if boiling ammunition renders it inoperable, a tactic reportedly used by Soviet soldiers. The process involves boiling 7.62x39mm rounds, allowing them to cool, and then testing their functionality in an AK-47/AKM. The video demonstrates that despite the boiling, the ammunition often remains functional, highlighting the resilience of lacquered cartridges.
