Conditions of food and ammo

Recommended Posts

Ok short and sweet post: does ruined food give you less energy, does ruined ammo work (if so is it different), and does pristine ammo begat better accuracy than badly damaged ammo?

Actually I've found that ruined ammo won't fire.  At least not in a .357.

Ruined canned food should have a chance of being toxic

 

i am not entirely convinced. canned food which became ruined by the means of damage is not spoiled/rotten. it might have a chance of containing shrapnel, but probably not high enough to warrant toxicity.

 

i'd rather suggest ruined tins cannot be opened/consumed and are "dead weight"

from my real life experiance i know that a damaged can of food does become dangerous to eat. most responsible retailers dont sell cans that are damaged on either the top or the bottom for this reason. in the following link is the reasons why.

If you’re thinking about buying food from a surplus or salvage store, or other type of bargain store, follow the safety tips you would follow when buying food anywhere. 

  • Never buy any can of food that looks swollen or has a bulge in it.  This may mean that dangerous bacteria are growing inside.
  • Don’t buy any can that’s dented along the seams that run along the top or side.  The damage may have allowed bacteria to get inside.
  • For the same reason, don’t buy any sealed package that’s torn, has a hole in it, or is coming apart at the seams.
  • Don’t buy any can or package that’s leaking.  If liquid can drip out, bacteria can get in.
  • If a can has rust along the seams, don’t buy it.

Well, ruined might mean that it's not properly sealed anymore.

That's what I meant

Ah, ok are you sure the gun was not ruined? (The game would not tell you, but you may have a clue.)

That is possible.  But I know for sure that it said the ammo was ruined.
