Steel case ammo can be excellent; it was perfected more than 80 years ago.

What do you think the Germans used in their excellent their excellent full-auto weapons e.g., MG-42, M.P.-38.
And the Russians: PPSh-41, PPD-34/38 / PPD-40, etc.

And the USA in 45ACP.

Then of course there's all that crappy, unreliable AK, Tokarev and Makarov ammo that those wacky Chinese and Russians still suffer with.
Like the Germans, they never figured out how those steel lacquered cases jammed up their guns and broke parts.
