A Bullet Casing (Steel) is a forged ammo part that is used in the crafting of Steel Ammunition. Bullet Casings can also be scrapped for Iron or melted in a Forge. Unlike it's brass counterpart, it is NOT used universally and is used ONLY in Steel Ammunition which includes only the 9mm, and 7,62mm steel variants. Steel Bullet Casings are used as an cheaper substitute to brass casings, but they are not an even trade off. Steel ammunition will wear down the gun it's used in 200% faster. The player will need Hammer and Forge level 3 in order to craft these. Steel ammo needs Yeah, Science level 1 in order to be crafted.
