You shoot steel case through Finnish weapons...?
What Finnish blasters do you have? Valmet Rk76 by any chance? The Finnish Army shoots SAKO brass-cased 7.62x39 ammunition through theirs, from Finnish-designed polymer waffle magazines that they tested for years and refined until they were right. I have yet to experience a malfunction with any of the Rk62, Rk76, Rk92, and Rk95's that I have shot. They are extremely well-built, but quite boat anchorish.
The Russian submariners have some pretty funny songs about turning the US into a desert, and the radioactive consequences manifesting as our dogs mutated into kangaroos in the aftermath. In a drunken stupor, my good friend coerced me (the sober one) to get into an exchange of military cadences and songs we used to sing about each other during the Cold War.
The "radioactive kangaroo" song was in response to the "Airborne Ranger HALOing into the Kremlin, red body bags" cadence. I was a bit uncomfortable, being on their turf under such circumstances, with the drunken friend translating from English to Russian, and Russian to English, as he simulated running to the cadence, totally trashed out of his mind. Good times.
