    What are considered average storage conditions? Seriously asking, I’ve only seen weapons storage in movies, I don’t know WTF it’s supposed to be like. Are wooden crates and cosmoline involved? Help me, I used to be a American Civil War reenactor.

      A warehouse with something that vaguely resembles a ventilation system and doesn’t flood on a regular basis. Temperature control is not a huge requirement either.

      If it were in a metal ammo box that is mostly water proof would be great as well. No need for perfect environmental controls or anything like that.

      Ammo exposed to a humid environment for a long period of time is no bueno. I think brass corrosion is mainly an electrochemical process, so keeping ammo mostly separated would be a nice to have. Coated steel ammo casings might actually be quite a bit more survivable in adverse conditions, now that I think about it.
