Aluminum Case Ammo and FX-9 Freedom Ordinance Carbine

[philhut]

So I was reading reviews and articles on this firearm and all of them have a disclaimer not to use aluminum base ammo why?

What would happen? I have no issue in my pistols?

Aluminum ammo sucks and shouldn't be used in any firearm ever. It's not even that much cheaper than Brass cased ammo.

All depends on what you want to run it in . Some actions will others won't run at all with it or so I have heard , personally it hasn't created any problems for me in the calibers and guns I use . Price differences ,

Some guns that eject more forcefully than average can rip the rims off. Sometimes they also stick and don't extract as smoothly. I've never heard of issues damaging guns; just causing all sorts of reliability issues with the ammo.

I know Aluminum is cheaper and not thale same as brass but it is used in large artillery by militaries around the world for weight/cost advantages

My question was about the FX-9 Carbine. It is a new firearm coming to Canada in the fall. In all of the adverts it says not to use aluminum ammo in it. Wondering if there is a specific issue.
