Cheaper than brass. They're not stupid, just poor

>not making guns that can run steel cased ammo
Are Westerners retarded

Works fine in all my firearms, even the pistols

Steel was cheaper than lead and way cheaper than brass

why didn't they use aluminium?

Fun fact: the US used steel cased ammo in WW2 and the Korean War

Might as well go caseless.

Steel is still cheaper

proofs? I have literally never seen steel cased M2 ball .30-06

Most steel cased ammo was designed with the properties of steel in mind though. You'll notice the Russian ammo has a more draft to the case to prevent sticking due to less spring back.

A fucking Hi-Point will run steel case without a problem.

They are retards no matter what but steel cased isn't retarded, other nations used it to some extent.

too soft

>Are commies retarded?
Yes

If communists understood capitalism, they would have created a polymer to coat steel cases with to fix the extraction issues and to prevent rust.

One small change that would double the value of their work.

Then you missed the original point completely: FUCKING CHEAP

Rusting ammo was never a problem to begin with, shooting drills were mandatory and always the oldest stock was used, and not because of the old cases rusting, but because the powder degrades. Another point was to make WP ammo unusable for westerners in the case of an all-out war - cases were made of steel and the powder would eat through guns without chrome lining.

There's also the "add insult to injury" factor of being able to boast that every "imperialist attempt at repressing the now-free colonies" was repelled using gear with a total price tag orders of magnitude smaller than yours

If we would consider the present state of Jow Forums and the state of its ideological adversaries, we could arrive at the revelation that the commies might - just might - have successfully made a 4^2Ddx/dt chess play on us

I have steel case 45 Auto in my collection that is American made and WWII dated

AK’s have no issue at all with steel cases ammo, only AR’s do.

NATO and WAPA calibers were completely different to begin with.

There's nothing wrong with steel case, most guns run it fine and it does what it needs to do. Plus it's so cheap that you don't feel that bad about not being able to reload it unless you're so poor that you have to eat ramen and white rice exclusively to afford to go shooting.

If only Russians could wield Economy and remove Corruption.
