What is corrosive ammunition?

Corrosive ammunition is simply any ammunition (usually older military) that uses primers containing potassium chlorate. The residual salts from primer combustion contain potassium chloride, which is highly hygroscopic - water in atmosphere combines with the salt to form a corrosive liquid, which will pit, corrode or rust the rifle bore. Corrosive salts are water soluble and today, cleanup only requires a few patches soaked with soapy water or even Windex, followed by your favorite bore cleaner. Consider any WW I or WW II surplus ammunition to be corrosively primed, and clean accordingly.

Chlorine gas for instance is an example of a corrosive gas. Protective equipment have to be worn and great precautions be taken when coming into contact with these chemicals.
