Question corrosive ammo

How big of a turn off is corrosive ammo to people? Would you say maybe 7/10 of people don't buy no matter how good the deal is or what? I know this sounds like a stupid question but I hear a lot of people complaining about how much it sucks and how they will never get it (some even say it stinks after it's fired)

Where are all these people that are complaining? Corrosive combloc milsurp ammo is cheap, accurate and just plain fun!

Swab out the barrel at the range with your choice of water/water-based cleaner, run an oily patch through it and it's good. If you aren't beginning the cleaning process at the range, why?

This is my rifle, this is my gun. Keep'em both clean for maximum longevity and usefullness.

Yeah, there's absolutely nothing wrong with corrosive ammo.

The people that don't buy it, either don't know what they are doing, believing too many false rumors, or they just don't like to clean their gun that often....or maybe they are too picky over ammo for some reason.

Corrosive is typically military grade(well foreign military)
It's still accurate and very cheap to produce and buy.

All ya gotta do is clean the barrel with warm soap and water, or whatever you choose.

The ONLY negative to this ammo is you really need to clean the gun immediately after using....or atleast soon there-after.


I wouldn't hesitate if you see a good deal man.

Corrosive ammo has destroyed a good may firearm barrels, because many people failed to clean their guns properly.. so that is why it is scorned.. if I can avoid corrosive ammo I will.. but it will not stop me from buying it at a good deal... and using it.. it is great for long term storage as well...

Don't know why people cry about it, maybe they are lazy and think it's to much work to clean.
Let them complain, they won't buy it and that will leave more for those who do.

If it was much cheaper I'd jump on corrosive ammo. Its not. Nothing is cheaper.
