The para you reference states 15 to 40 years at temps of 30 to 90 degrees, so at ambient UK temps its decades, even if not in temp controlled storage available to the military.
Is the blurb you refer to concerning small arms ammo, as the doc appears to cover missile propellants and all sorts of other stuff?
In my use of ammo I’m somewhat more exacting than your average spray and pray (American) squaddie. |
It states a propellant is significantly degraded the hotter the temp its stored at. It depends on the propellant.
We are typically getting summers in the high 30s here and I'll bet no military stores their ammunition in temp and humidity controlled storage because of how much there is.
FFS, stormshadow is about 5m long. That has a propellant.
13 SPECIFIC EFFECTS - GUN PROPELLANTS
13.1 General Rule
13.1.1 Although not confirmed, the Americans consider that the effect of high
temperatures over protracted periods is to halve the shelf-life of gun
propellants for every 10°C rise in temperature above 30°C. Thus a
propellant with a shelf-life of 20 years would be reduced as follows:
(1) 40°C - The shelf-life is reduced to 10 years.
(2) 50°C - The shelf-life is reduced to 5 years.
(3) 60°C - The shelf-life is reduced to 2.5 years.
(4) 70°C - The shelf-life is reduced to 1.25 years.
(5) 80°C - The shelf-life is reduced to 0.58 years.
13.2 Normal Shelf-Life
13.2.1 Dependent on the design, most propellants have a shelf-life of 15 to
25 years at 30°C, although in temperate climates they can last much
longer. At the expiry of the design shelf-life, the propellants must be
tested to establish the amount of stabilizer remaining, so that the shelf-life
may be extended accordingly. Under very hot conditions they would
have to be tested much sooner. ____________________ trevor saxe-coburg-gotha:"Remember this simple rule - scooters are for men who like to feel the breeze on their huge, flapping cunt lips."

It's still interesting though in that (not unexpectedly) the military are very organised with their bang-bangs Send ammo to Ukraine? Let's pick a batch that's old which we would have tested and probably kept but instead just write it off and send it out. Who knows, it might have failed the tests anyway so procurement roll on with ordering replacements as they normally would.
Anyhoo, back to the war...
It looks like the Israelis are going to be stupid and attempt to clear Gaza block by block, street by street, house by house - exactly what Hamas want. It'd be more humane to glass the place. ____________________ Husqvarna Vitpilen 401, Yamaha XSR700, Honda Rebel, Yamaha DT175, Suzuki SV650 (loan) Fazer 600, Keeway Superlight 125, 50cc turd scooter |

The problem for France, along with the UK is its history in the area is a rather spotty one.
We should really have left the Holy land alone after WW2 and just given the Jews a big chunk of Germany on a take it or leave it basis. Imagine |
