The issue insect repellent for the Australian army back in the late 80's and 90's also had the reputation of melting plastic used in the F88 Steyr AUG. It was also said to be carcinogenic (causes cancer).
Mind you, two drops were more than sufficient to keep mosquitoes at bay even in the thickest of jungles or the wetest of swamps.
