VCI Gun Storage Bags Vs. Heavy Gun Greases

VCI (Volatile Corrosion Inhibitor) Gun Storage Bags Offer several advantages over traditional heavy grease for corrosion protection:

  1. Cleaner application:

    • VCI Bags: Do not require messy application or removal. The bags release corrosion inhibitor molecules that form a protective layer on all external and internal metal surfaces without the need for applying. a direct coating.
    • Heavy Grease: Requires heavy application on external metal surfaces, often creating a thick, sticky coating that's difficult and time-consuming to remove when the parts are needed.
  2. Ease of use:

    • VCI Bags: Simply placing firearms and ammo in the bag provides corrosion protection. The bags are durable, easy to seal, and do not require specialized equipment.
    • Heavy Grease: Requires heating, applying, and then cleaning off the grease, often with solvents or mechanical cleaning, which is labor-intensive.
  3. Storage and accessibility:

    • VCI Bags: Allow for easy inspection and access to the components without removing the protective layer. No need to clean parts before usage.
    • Heavy Grease: Parts covered in grease need thorough cleaning before inspection or use, which can greatly increase labor hours for armorers working with many firearms.
  4. Cost efficiency:

    • VCI Bags: Often more cost-effective in terms of labor, as they reduce the time and effort required for both application and removal.
    • Heavy Grease: Involves more handling costs due to the extensive application, storage, and cleaning processes.
  5. Environmental and health concerns:

    • VCI Bags: Generally safer for workers, as they reduce exposure to harsh chemicals or solvents required to clean grease. They also create less hazardous waste.
    • Heavy Grease: Often requires toxic solvents for removal, posing risks to workers and the environment.

In summary, VCI bags offer a cleaner, easier, and fail-safe solution for preventing firearm rust, ensuring the weapon is always ready for use without the hassle of applying and removing heavy grease.
