[QUOTE="Fyrtwuck, post: 3250441, member: 23"] When I was in the military we had to clean and inspect after every use. I really don’t think it was required for it to be functional. I mean, when they go through the bid process how many rounds are they supposed to fire before malfunction or breakage before the contract is approved? I think the “every time you shoot you clean” requirement is to enhance training. How many personnel who do not carry firearms on a daily basis remember how to disassemble/reassemble clean and maintain from one session to the next? I can see combat troops performing regular cleaning and inspection because their lives depend on them. Lots of daily use, high round count, abuse and breakage. Clerks and admin personnel not so much. I have guns I use at the matches that don’t get regular cleaning. I inspect them before a match and if I find something that needs attention, I take care of it. [/QUOTE]
