What you are saying is right.....

All I'm saying is that a paper clip can be used as a spring, but it would be a very poor one, even if used BELOW yield stress like a magazine spring. So could a spoon, or a screwdriver. Other metals have the same properties as spring steel but in vastly different degrees.

QED, you have made your point (multiple times), so it is time to let it go.
The condescending, know-it-all tone of your posts gets old really fast. Please just make your point and then move on.

I guess this is as "technical" as you get. How sad.

Sure a paper clip is a very poor "spring," but that's irrelevant as I have attempted to explain previously in this thread; bending and fracturing a paper clip requires stress ABOVE yield, unlike stress in magazine springs, which is BELOW yield. THUS, the analogy that was directed to me regarding bending and fracturing a paper clip as some kind of evidence that magazine springs experience wear only when cycled, but not when statically compressed is a baseless and irrelevant analogy -- and is contrary to what magazine spring manufacturers have very clearly stated!

Man......
That's enough. I like to discuss and argue points. but this has gotten ridiculous. 
To me this thread is locked.

Yes, it's somewhat pointless to respond to irrelevant posts, but I decided to factually reply to your post anyway. Carry on.

Evidently your post can be totally deficient of technical content and merit -- there's no guessing there. Previously, by "guessing," I gave you the benefit of doubt. Carry on and cheers.

Tarnished ammo
I take any tarnished rounds to the range and shoot it up. For me, it's a sign that it needs to be replaced. I don't carry ammo in my dai'y carry gun for more than 6-8 months before it is changed out and the old ammo disposed of at a range session.

Jeez, another urine fest. I'm sorry I looked in on this one again. I won't repeat the mistake.

Don't clean em, shoot em. Had a Detective who;'s ammo was so old they turned green in the cylinder. We took the pistol out in the back, shot all 5 rounds without a problem, then had to push the empty cartridges out with a down and small hammer. BUT,they shot.
