The protection and preservation of weaponry is a problem that every army must deal with. This paper presents the results of actual field usage of Volatile Corrosion Inhibiting (VCI) film as used by the Croatian Army. Several types of preservation methods were utilized by the Croatian Army. A comparison of VCI film and conventional preservation methods is made. The factors studied for comparison include effectiveness of the protection, the length of protection offered, labor requirements for protection, labor requirements of reactivation and the effect of temperature on the time required for reactivation. The results show that VCI films are well suited for weaponry preservation and offer many advantages over conventional preservation methods. The results show that for protection terms of up to two years VCI films alone are the best choice. For preservation periods of two to five years the combination of a VCI film and VCI oil proved to be the best. Finally, for long term protection of five to fifteen years a combination of VCI film and a VCI/barrier oil proved to be the best. Keywords:VCIs, volatile corrosion inhibitors, weaponry conservation, military, small arms preservation, VCI packaging, VCI oils
