FAQ
How do ammunition cans and boxes work?
Made using durable materials like heavy-duty steel, these metal boxes work by providing a protective environment for ammunition and other essentials, keeping the contents dry and safe from any damage (including water!) and safeguarded from physical damage. This makes them a great storage option not only for ammo but also for batteries, fire-starting tools, and tinder for camping trips, or other general storage.
Are ammo cans waterproof?
Yes, many cans are designed to be waterproof, or at least highly water-resistant. They’re designed with a rubber gasket or seal on the lid to prevent moisture from entering and damaging the contents. You may not want to toss them in a pool, but the contents should be fine if you get caught in the rain – even if it’s a downpour.
Do ammo boxes require any cleaning or maintenance?
They require very minimal cleaning and maintenance. All you’ll want to do is periodically wipe your ammo boxes with a dry cloth to remove any dirt, dust, or visible moisture. This will help ensure their longevity and performance.
Can I paint or customize my ammo can?
Yes! You can use paint or stencils to label your cans, apply primer and paint to personalize your ammo box, or add any other customizations to use them as your toolbox or survival kit. Many will lightly sand their ammo boxes to improve paint adhesion. You can even use vinyl.
