The reference to 'non-corrosive' is to differentiate modern caps from previous designs that used very corrosive mercury fulminate. While the new caps won't cause the gun to dissolve into a pile of rust (why say something like that? did you really think I even remotely implied such a thing?) they do produce hygroscopic combustion by-products. In the right environment that can be damaging, even if only cosmetic. I personally prefer to keep my nipple environment clean. 'nuff said.
