Volatile corrosion inhibitors

I have a current project in which some police firearms (and other
stuff such as Tazers and ammo!) are going into a time capsule
(stainless steel, to be welded closed).  I am considering Volatile
Corrosion Inhibitor wraps as specified in military packaging for the
firearms.  I plan to overwrap these with Marvelseal watervaporproof
barrier bags, sealed, but am concerned about the other items inside
the container (namely, documents, photos, etc.) and any reaction
with whatever might seep in from the VCI stuff.  Air will be pushed
out of the container with inert (argon) gas, and I can use Ageless
and desiccant/silica gel as necessary.

Can anyone help with comments on what's being done in the
conservation community with regard to VCI, and if any tests have
been done on it in closed containers?  Thanks for any input.
