| The U.S. Army currently packs certain ammunition in its standard wax- impregnated fiber containers. Unfortunately, these containers are not entirely satisfactory. The wax inside the fiber container melts and exudes out under extremely hot conditions and deposits on the cartridge which can lead to malfunctions. Other, unwaxed fiber containers (e.g., those used to pack 120 mm tank ammunition) sometimes absorb and may be permeable to water or water vapor. This ... |
