What should happen with ammunition that shows visible defects or damage?

Ammunition that shows visible defects or damage poses a significant risk to safety and should never be used. Using defective ammunition can lead to malfunctions, misfires, or even dangerous explosions, which can cause serious injury or death to personnel. Safety protocols dictate that all ammunition should be carefully inspected before use, and any ammunition that does not meet safety standards must be discarded or reported for further evaluation.

In this context, the response to visible defects is clear: it must not be used under any circumstances. Doing so could jeopardize the safety of those handling it and compromise the integrity of training or operational activities. Proper disposal or reporting procedures should be followed to ensure that defective ammunition is handled safely and does not accidentally enter operational use.
