In large amounts it is harmful to the bore..but then again in the middle of a battlefield when you don't have time to stip your gun for fear of being ambushed what other choice do you have if you really want to prevent rust and keep your firearm going..

Also perhaps I am mistaken but I do believe the ammonia does break down and neutralize the corrosive salts..if it is just the water in windex why do people use it at all and just use water instead???
Like I said I could very well be mistaken but I have always been under the impression that it is the ammonia that helps neutralize it and that was why so many people use windex.it has always worked for me a little winded in the bore followed by a good cleaning and I have never had rust problems
